Hi Lostcowboy, I don't do Kindle as it tends to light my eyeballs on fire, but I do read paper books, a lot in fact. When I moved a few years ago I gave away over 50 boxes of books, and that was after I sold two collections, one a cookbook collection and the other some rare French books by Gaston Leroux. I decided I needed the space for new books.

Mostly, if I can't get a book from the library, or I want my own copy, I go to the world's largest independent new and used bookstore, Powell's Books - www.powells.com or I go to Alibris Books - www.alibris-com. The neat thing about Alibris is that a lot of the sellers there are libraries that are weeding out their copies that haven't been read in years. Often the books only cost a buck or so so the shipping at $3.95 is more than the book, but it helps keep the Post Office alive even though Congress has been trying to kill it off over the years.

So, if possible, give me the title and author in the future.

I do greatly appreciate the tips, both for web resources and books to understand them.

Best,

Allen
