In my current financial status, every little bit helps! I'm sure someday I'll have the completed works in bound leather and gilt edges, right?

It wasn't a criticism, I was just saying you weren't going to find things like "Aunts Aren't Gentlemen/The Catnappers" there because they're not out of copyright yet. It would be great if they were.

I didn't take it as a criticism, just allowed my RL to cross over into my escapism a bit, made my lame joke read sarcastic. Sorry! I feel that reading the canon and such can only help in my attempts to do this world justice. I'd buy them all if I could, in any condition! Sorry for the confusion.

Ah, okay, sorry. I've been getting mine at used bookshops, personally. I did download several from Project Gutenberg, but I love hard copy that I can flip through and play with.

I got a really nice hardback from half.com for basically shipping and handling because it was a best of/ favorites kind of thing, but is was from the 50's. But that's all I've been able to get, because the nearest bookshop is actually a room off the side of the local trophy making store and all they ever have is those dime a dozen romance novels. Nearest city with a real book store, is Memphis, at three hours. Every time I wind up in a 'city' with a bookstore, I go completely nuts and spend about four times more than I can afford, just cause I love the smell and feel and being able to go back and pick it up anytime, even when my computer's on the fritz. So, yeah, I love books too! Music, movies and books, the only reasons to bother with that job crap, right? Anyway, I shall go away now, before I fill up this simple post with far more than you wanted to know! Too late, you say?

Allow me to suggest Powells.com for awesome used bookness.
