However, Powells doesn’t stock the same range of books that Amazon does (and I have a rather bizarre and unexplainable aversion to Barnes and Noble). I encourage the use of the wide range of online booksellers (and even more fun…local bookstores!).

By the way, that’s cool that Powell’s posts reviews. I hadn’t noticed that, but maybe that’s because not every author takes advantage of this service? I think that’s really, really great.
