Even book resellers are fair game now, huh? I've worked overseas for a number of years, and thriftbooks has always had the best selection on Amazon. (When I'd find 10-12 paperbacks I wanted to order, I preferred to have them all come in a single shipment. Instead of going through 4-5 sellers to get them, I'd often find that thriftbooks had all of them for sale. That made it easier for me to get a single package with my books in it.)

While they may not be saving the world, it sounds like they are putting some people to work - I'm not going to complain about that in this economy.

I have a kindle now, though, so I'm not helping anybody's employment (but I'm not killing as many trees, either).
