Jealous of my friend...

generalblossom and her mega-points for evil book pushing... Actually, inspired by her linking to the The Book Depository, it occurred to me to check whether there was a website for the Betterworld Bookstore, another Amazon Marketplace seller I like to use. Of course there is! Free shipping in the US, but only $2.97 (only just over €2 now) per book anywhere in the world, and as they sell used books too, you can often get much cheaper copies. And it benefits literacy causes! And it tells you which one your purchase helps! AND carbon-neutral shipping! And I've now exceeded my exclamation mark allowance for months...I've found quite a few of the child lit critical books I've needed from them, and now just ordered The Phoenix Dance, after reading a really intriguing review on Jen Robinson's Book Page. 'The Twelve Dancing Princesses' was O.D.'s favourite fairy tale for a long time, and using it this way could be great or could be a disaster, but sounds as if it's worked well. Very interested to read this one. Maybe if I get through all my course reading before the 48 Hour Book Challenge...
