General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

jo anne, I received a news bulletin from ABEBooks today, announcing a 10% discount on all books. A Christmas treat obviously. But they also state that postage, as always, is free to anywhere in the UK.

The latter advantage would appear to be a factor persuading you to buy new books through the Internet.

At my outpost 'shipment' costs are usually between two and three times the purchase price of out-of-print books.
