You’re going to be sitting in front of the computer anyway. You know you are. You might as well make use of a bit of that time to save some serious cash.
Plan ahead, shop for your or your children’s textbooks now and you’ll have those books in plenty of time for the new semester.
Did you know that you can save as much as 90% by buying used textbooks? That’s serious money!
And one more thing – you can sell your used textbooks, too. You’ll either save on your next order and make a few extra dollars. Either way – it’s economical and eco-friendly.
Go for used textbooks – you’ll be living green and saving green and tickled pink, of course.
Just another of our handy savvy shopping tips.

My recent travels included a long weekend in Southern California and we all know what that means. Hours and hours and hours on the freeway. Way too many hours. LAX. Palm Springs. Joshua Tree. Beverly Hills. Orange County. Santa Monica. San Diego. Lots of road time. I don’t know how people do it every day!
I did everything I could to make the most of those long hours. And it reallly wasn’t that hard. There were frequent stops at Starbucks
, of course. But it was the wonderful reading material that really made it easy. And fun.
A couple clicks of the mouse and I had all the reading material I needed to make the hours on the road fly by! And best of all with downloadable audiobooks from iTunes
, I had no added baggage and nothing to forget or leave behind in the hotel room or rental car. Instead of dreading each leg of my journey, I actually found myself looking forward to hopping back in the car so that I could get back to my vacation reading!
Love that!
Downloadable audiobooks would also be a great idea for a long flight or anyone who commutes daily by bus or train.

A moment of silence is in order for David Foster Wallace who was found dead in his home on Friday evening. He was an author, teacher and one of the most influential literary voices of our times. His writing was smart and funny. And super edgy. And so good. His novel Infinite Jest was named to the Time Magazine list of the 100 Best Novels from 1923-2005. He received a MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant the year after it was published.
While he received his greatest critical and literary acclaim for this 1000 plus page epic novel, Wallace is best known to most people (including me) for his short stories that appeared in magazines like Esquire, GQ, The New Yorker, The Paris Review and Harper’s, the stories were also published in collections like Oblivion, Girl with Curious Hair, and Brief Interviews with Hideous Men.
Since 2002, David Foster Wallace held the Disney Chair in Creative Writing and English at Pomona College.
Our hearts are with the family and friends at this time. His voice will be missed. And remembered.

If you didn’t see it, then you absolutely must. And if you did see it, then, like me, you probably want to see it again.
The Jewish Americans: A Series by David Grubin DVD
And in case you missed it, The Mormons was equally fascinating, exceedingly well done and thoroughly engrossing.
The Mormons DVD
It’s well worth having both in your library. Accompanying books and soundtrack CD’s are also available for many PBS titles, as are many other learning resources.
