As a matter of principle I never order from either of them.  They're
putting independent bookstores out of business, sending our local
neighborhoods one more step down the path to oblivion.  Call up your
local bookstore and have them order it for you.  That way you don't
pay shipping at all, though the sticker price may be higher.

OK, I'll get off my soapbox now.
