Just a piece of advice . . .

Although I usually shop at amazon.com, bn.com has a wider selection and
often better prices. I purchased a $43 book from bn.com which shipped in 24
hours. Amazon wanted $60 for the same book with a shipping time of 4-6
weeks. Check out both before you buy. It's worth the extra two minutes to
compare.
