Perhaps <I>blog</I> has limited appeal as a word, and undoubtedly all of us have read blogs and thought that the poster should have done something else with his/her time that day.

Those will <I>usually</I> be in good-to-like-new condition and sometimes they'll be signed first editions. You may pay more for a book like that.<BR/><BR/>You can also find them in used bookstores, at abebooks.com, powells.com amazon.com, bn.com, and other sites that sell used and out-of-print books online.<BR/><BR/>Good luck, and thanks for the kind words about the blog!<BR/><BR/>JanJan Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11995627057411256306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28238868.post-1148365150690564172006-05-22T23:19:00.000-07:002006-05-22T23:19:00.000-07:00Hi Julie, I haven't had a chance to go through t...Hi Julie,<BR/><BR/> I haven't had a chance to go through the new B&N in Huntington Beach yet, but the staff and customers there have always been really supportive. Sometimes when my schedule says "Los Angeles," it really means LA, OC, and even part of Ventura County, so HB is a possibility. <BR/><BR/>JanJan Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11995627057411256306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28238868.post-1148353015377448592006-05-22T19:56:00.000-07:002006-05-22T19:56:00.000-07:00I'd love to return to Pittsburgh.
