I guess I don't get all this animosity toward Amazon.   If it is too big, then use the force of government to break it up.

Glen -

Thanks for the reminder to keep on supporting local/independent if you want them to be around later.  Or because they are your neighbors.  Or of course, if you just want to stick it to Bezos like the Lilliputians that we are!

I didn't know about this resource.   I have degenerated to routing all of my orders through Op Cit which moved to De Vargas from SanBusco. They try very hard to find and obtain any title and have offered Mary that they will also add her wish list to theirs and pull books she is looking for as they find them (they have a big backlog of unsorted and get more every day in trade) rather than order.  

They don't seem to be registered with Bookshop, nor does Big Star... I'll follow up and see why maybe not.
