Cheap books

Harry is eager to let everyone know that he got Of Moths and Men from the library with no difficulty. It is also available for $1.98 from Daedalus and for 75 cents from half.com. I think he wants us to read the book!

My favorite is abebooks.com because they have everything and kind of act as a clearinghouse for other sellers. Not necessarily the cheapest though.

We ran into Frank Sandner and Caroline Beckett in Door County this weekend. We were waiting at the paddle shop to pick up our new kayaks and Frank was peddling past. They were working an author visit & book signing by Mary Bergin, the Capital Times writer who also publishes a lot of Wisconsin travel books and guides. Sidetracked in Wisconsin is the book and it details lots of odd places and things to do. It turned out the boat shop didn't have the boat I ordered, even though they had been assuring me all summer that they did, so now I have to wait to get something from the factory in S. Carolina.
