I have choice, but I prefer online shopping as I hate going to town...
when we moved, 4 1/2 years ago, we had a stack of large boxes (we went with an official moving company that also supplied the boxes) and a stack of small boxes that was about half the size of the big ones. The small ones are for books  But once the lounge is done and I have my bookshelves, it'll be time to fill them again (I've been mostly on a pbook-selling-stop the last 4 years, the only books I've got were either free (working at a publisher does have its advantages  ) or second hand because I had to have them...) |
Book shopping is pretty much the only "in person" shopping I enjoy - not that I don't enjoy shopping on the internet as well. My book shelves are overflowing, I have all my books stacked double and my entire second-floor hallway is full of stacks of books, as well as my living room. I should really looking into fixing that up!
