T...Aww thanks for offering to beat up the Universe! Though I suppose the Universe probably doesn't take kindly to bullying ; ) I've resorted to asking it very nicely to go easy on me.<br /><br />I completely agree with you about used book stores. Embrace the adventure, people! Get lost in the stacks for an hour or so.Jennifer Ambrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01397176346255759805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116461351305070142.post-64851132075396734022010-04-16T19:50:30.507-04:002010-04-16T19:50:30.507-04:00I always figure, if you're going to a used boo...I always figure, if you're going to a used book store, or searching through them to find a particular book, you have to start with the idea that it will involve a lot of time checking each and every book (at least in one or two sections/genres). That's the fun of it. No easy road by calling ahead and asking them to check. <br /><br />I think a lot (some? there are far too few independent and used bookstores in HI) of used book stores only keep a very basic idea of what books they have, little more than 'We get way too much of X series,' maybe 'and never enough of series Y.'<br /><br />I hope your day went well at Otter Creek Books. It's not even 2 yet here, but your day is probably done or close to it. Now that it is the weekend--for real real, not for play play--have fun writing, or any others plans you have. I'll beat up the Universe for you if it starts to get uppity again.Sabrina Favorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303054417674236268noreply@blogger.com
