That's where Amazon comes in. He goes, clicks, and buys without a flicker of interest in the book itself.

It is a pick on LT Early Reviewers this month, so I will see if there is a slight chance I snag a copy there...<BR/><BR/>And of course you are right that an Amazon order must have at least 3 books...even if two gets you the free shipping. I think it is a rule.
