Love the Mom story. My dad is the person who got me involved in reading.He loves my collection.It is nice to have something we both like and can share about.Good for you Teri
I'm not counting down, I am frantically trying to finish the Talisman before it comes and also dreading my Dr appointment on monday so times just a flying by. Cept the next 3 hours. they'll crawl because I am at work
Most of them Teri, we get the UK Hodder & Stoughton versions of the books out here (just today received an email for TWTTK, it, again, will only be carried by our major retailers as a large paper back style - so pleased I get all my booksoverseas !!!!) so most of the US PB covers are unknown to me, which is cool - gives me other stuff to look at
Not for maybe 15 years now (give or take) - you can still get HC's, but mostly only through specialty books sellers or bargain basement places (although they have nothing that I want to read anyway ). No one out here wants to pay $45 - $60 for a HC anymore, not when you can get the larger PB's for $25 Anyways, I don't care, cos I get all my stuff offshore, so Australian reading habits (with the off exception on this illustrious forum) can continue on the slippery slope to hell and it'll make no nevermind to me) BTW - liking your new avatar Teri --- it's so .... so ... so .... well, it's so ... TERI

They pretty much have the same thing in Poland. If something is hardcover its usually done without a DJ, the art is on the book cover itself. And all the English book stores usually carry only a very few new releases in HC (uk versions most of the time) and the rest is just pb's.
So I'm glad just like you that I order everything online. I miss being able to walk into a book store and just but stuff from the shelves. Had a borders real close to me in NJ. Ahhh the comforts we take for granted.
Oh how I am glad Canada is practically the US we just have free healthcare and less violence(maybe not so much anymore). Thank god for that or I'd never have enough money for books specially after seeing a specialist in an hour. Wish me luck boys. Ughhh. Off I go
