Too many books

[andyhat]

You know you buy too much mail-order stuff when you need a dolly to get the week's packages out of The UPS Store and into the car.

After opening the boxes, this week's stack is 46 books, arriving from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Shocklines, and Cold Tonnage Books. Yikes. I really need to control this bookbuying habit of mine.

You mean you haven't been buying books from abebooks.com, ebay, booksamillion.com and clarkesworld.com?

I should have an order arriving from clarkesworld next weekend, and I've got several outstanding orders from abebooks, too. I don't order many books from ebay, though; I just don't have time to mess around with bidding. Is booksamillion's pricing any better than amazon's? When I've checked them, I haven't noticed that there was enough difference to bother. If I want deep discounts, I'll use overstock.com, but their search engine sucks, so I tend to only use them on more expensive books or ones that amazon doesn't discount.

And you didn't order one of my books from Clarkesworld??
