Nice! I've just requested Book One of the series! I should have it in 6-8 weeks!

I could have sold you mine! (after I had a chance to check it
out first! LOL). Shipping from Ontario to BC for that wouldn't
be over $10.

It's amazing that people are asking over $60 for "new" copies
of that out-of-print pocketbook title!

I hope you requested it from Ogg, the most friendly of the Internet book sellers, who puts horse stuff for free in your deliveries :-)

I got my library to buy it. . . not in budget for me to buy. . .

I have seen what you mean -- people are asking insanely ridiculous prices for old junk online now!

Women were paying over $100 per single tampon made by a company that closed
up shop!

Single Scrabble tiles for $5K & up!

One local library here orders titles from me. That's nice,
considering that they get gov't money to buy their material and
therefore use that money to support local.

"Pandemic" (the book) reads so much like a playbook of what we
are experiencing now. Knowing what I am living through wrt the
pandemic now, the book is not as shocking as would be if would
have read it in 2005.

I really enjoyed "The Grid" by Philip Kerr. It's about a
smart-building that goes rogue and starts killing its
occupants. A funny part was a sex scene in an elevator, but I
don't remember how come the smart-building didn't detect the
action going on in there.

All it takes is one sucker.

I think those are set up as jokes. When this covid shit started
and people were hording toilet paper, the runing joke on eBay
was single sheets for $20+

My library uses one major wholesa;er/distributer for all books, but they'kll mnalre an excepton to buy direct for local talent.

You got to pay to list an item? Or only if it sells?

The tampon thing was pre-Covid.

It was a beloved company & producer, apparently ('twas in NYC -- a long way from here, so I have no first-hand or even dsercond-hand knowledge)

Idiots gotta idd, I always say, sometimes. . .
