[Holly-L] Amazon warning

[Kathy Napolitano]

I've never had a problem with Amazon but I've never tried to order out of
print books from them. Sorry you got such poor treatment from them. You
would think that since their sales are online/credit card that they would
be religious about following procedure to protect their business!  If they
get a bad rep over credit cards their business WILL suffer.

Holly -  B&N seems to carry pretty much everything of yours that's still
in print here in Arlington TX., although some of the other B&N's in near
by cities don't carry as many.
