Reading is and has always been a favorite pastime of many. Genres may differ, but readers unite in their love for the written word. There is nothing like settling down with a drink, a cup of tea or coffee in your favorite spot and enter the realms of imagination, fact, or fiction. It opens the doors to whole new worlds and universes, helping you expand your present knowledge while opening your mind to new ideas.

A lot of people do not keep their books when done reading and great deals are always available, so why not try to save some trees. Bookstores are disappearing. Sadly. Internet “stores” are a terrific way to shop, especially when comparing prices, but they do not have the feel of what I call a “real People Store”.
