re: #439 allegro
There is a movement afoot for buying locally that I encourage at every opportunity. It’s better for all.
And if not that buy from small companies online.
If I am looking for something I try to check out eBay, Etsy and just small retailers on the internet for what I need.
It does not always work and I’ll admit that I buy almost all my books from Amazon except when I feel like driving 30 min to the used bookstore…it is 45 min to a “local” bookstore that sells new.
