bookMaybe I am the only person on the planet that feels this way, but I still love a good paperback book. It doesn’t necessarily have to be paperback, it could be hardback, but what I’m trying to say is that I love a physical book in my hands. I think that it is really cool that there are devices available like the Kindle, but I like the novelty of holding an actual book in my hands. For me, it is really fantastic to be able to unwind on a nightly basis by curling up with a good book.

Of course, I have been so tired lately that I can hardly keep my eyes open, so my progress is slow, but you get the point… The bottom line is that if you want to find some great deals on buying books in your area, then you must check out WWHOW. WWHOW is going to give you a heads up on discounts on the books in your area, including some of the newer and more popular releases. That’s not too shabby, and you can even buy some extra editions of Harry Potter for your nieces and nephews with these amazing deals!

So, a random walk today resulted in my going past my favorite downtown bookstore in SF…only to discover it’s closed… or closing. Stacey’s has succumbed (I assume) to the recession, Amazon etc. and now, there are no books left, and they are selling off everything from bookcases, tables, and old computer monitors (that most folks are trying to get rid of). 

Why does this make me want to use WWHOW? Well, I really wish that someone had posted the fact that the store was closing and books were on sale… BEFORE everything was cleared out and they started selling the fixtures.  I would have been able to go to my old haunt, poke around, buy some books on sale, and say goodbye.  I shudder to think that this is the fate of independent bookstores. 

(and yet, it also would have presented a great way to utilize the services of WWHOW!).
