You, my good sir and/or ma'am, have just made a friend.

Why not just order your books from Amazon? Or the Barnes & Noble website?

I've read almost everything involving Poirot, but unfortunately, the majority of them were library books, so I do not OWN a decent collection of Christie's books. It's the collector in me, I have to have physical copies >>
And rambling? Not at all. Or, rather, if that was rambling it certainly didn't bother me. I like how you phrased the underlined portion.
Well, I've finished "The Green Child" (and subsequently discovered a Plant Girl fetish), and am about to break open "No Longer Human"- as well as the aforementioned bottle of Jäger. Which means, sadly, that all articulate comments will end here.
I'll leave the both of you with a piece of advice: Used book stores as well as antique store's can be literary treasure troves for those with a sharp eye.
