Truth is, I almost never buy new books, but I'd been looking for an affordable copy of Hoffert's The Outlaws of Cave-in-Rock for years ($200 to $265 on bookfinder.com) and just discovered that it had been reprinted recently as a paperback. Went to B & N to get it, as my local "new book" stores didn't have it. Ended up biting the bullet and ordering it from Amazon (sob!). The title I was ordering from Powell's was also an older, used book. I agree: shop locally to save shipping costs AND to support independent booksellers, who need all the support they can get in order to survive in a world of Amazons online.

Anybody out there got a hardcover copy of Hoffert's book for sale, cheap?
