More Shopping

I made my first paying visit to the new Borders today, in search of books and music.

In the music section, I couldn't find any of the specific jazz albums that were recommended to me, so I bought Wynton Marsalis, "The Midnight Blues", and Miles Davis, "The Very Best: The Early Years", plus a Chuck Berry album.

I held myself back on the book front, limiting myself to: Laura Joh Rowland, Red Chrysanthemum; Janet Evanovich, Four to Score; Jane Lindskold, The Dragon of Despair; Robert Heinlein, The Green Hills of Earth; C. S. Friedman, When True Night Falls; and Terry Pratchett, Making Money. Two mysteries, four F/SF, mostly continuing series. (I looked at the romance section; Georgette Heyer was conspicuous by her absence. Odd, that.)

Is Red Chrysanthemum paperback or hardcover?

A lot of times, Borders has no Heyer, since there hasn't been a Harlequin re-release in awhile.

Paperback. I like the Sano mysteries, but not enough to pay HC prices.

It's been awhile since bought one of her HC's. I do need something to read on the plane this weekend, though.

Thanks for the heads up.

hunh? I wonder if they've got the Heyers in a special section/display somewhere else? Every Borders I've been to stocks her, as far as I know. Then again, I'm in England. Perhaps my memory of US Borders is fuzzy.

It's far, far easier to get Heyer in the UK than stateside. Until Harlequin published a few of hers some years ago, I don't think any of them were in print over here.

On the other hand, this is the first time I've been in a Borders since I got interested in GH, so I'm not in a position to comment on their usual practice.

Have you considered the local library book sales & thrift stores? I've gotten some nice jazz & books there.
