All those books I'd like to buy from FW and couldn't are now on my BoB wishlist
Almost all books I've wanted to buy at FW was restricted, and if I can find only six books after trawling through 1800 it's just not worth going back.
BTW - have you noticed you can have books displayed as a list in a BoB search? Top right, you can choose between list and that awful default 'wheel' display.
A (mostly) good thing that came out of this is that I pulled myself together to actually try to 'liberate' epub books so I can buy books at Waterstones or WHSmith. But... After finding out how user friendly the script it, I happily rushed to buy another epub book (a cookbook by Elizabeth David) just so I could have the pleasure again and ran
smack into geographic restrictions again! Probably only sold in Britain.... Gaaaah!!! So, so ridiculous.
