Alibris and Biblio are two other great sources, both marketplaces for small independent booksellers. I often go to Betterworld and Thrift for fairly recent paperbacks but to Alibris and Biblio when searching for anything older than 50 years or so, hardcovers, interesting illustrations or bindings.

The Christmas shopping propaganda is now on in full swing.

My favorite radio station has started playing Christmas music.
I can see what I won't be listening to for the next month.

I hate Christmas. Literally and the music SUCKS.

Some day, I'd love to see one person tell Trump this one thing:
