In my opinion, Amazon.com is great when you know exactly what book
you want. The one-click ordering is great. But I rarely use the
reviews as they seem pretty superficial and could even be "planted"
by the publisher or the author.
But if you do not know what you want and need a recommendation,
contact Ed Dobson, the President of Trader's Press. He has always
given me good recommendations and his prices are competitive.
His toll-free phone number is 800-927-8222. I see you are not in the
U.S. so the direct phone number is 864-298-0221. The last email
address I have is Tradersprs@xxxxxxxx
Their web site is <http://www.traderspressbookstore.com/> but it is
run by another operation so that if you want to contact Ed, you are
probably better off with the phone or email.
No connection, etc. Just a satisfied customer.
