Just ordered a copy of PEYTON PLACE (the book) for Paul. He has books for his favorite movies (Rebecca, Mr. Blanding's Dream House, The Graduate . . .). From alibris -- my first alibris purchase.
I added a book to my amazon cart. I add anything and everything, them move it to buy later. Then amazon notifies me if the price has changed, IDEALLY DROPPED, and I think about the item again when its achieved better bargain status.
Today's book was WOE IS I, it was mentioned in a NYT article, quoted actually,
THAT night I read in “Woe Is I” by Patricia T. O’Conner that the semicolon is
like a blinking yellow light between two connected but independent sentences.
You read through the first sentence, but before going to the next, the semicolon
warns you to slow down and look both ways. (The Semicolon Was Our Blinking
Caution Light By JAMIE CALLAN, NYT, July 23)
I wonder if that is some kind of product placement? But I could understand the explanation and if I am going to write this daily I'll need a great deal of guidance. I have 539 books in my online catalog now.... do I really need another title?
