Support your independent bookseller

[msmemory_archive]

But at what price? I'm not sure I'm ready to support my independent bookseller charging me $30 more for a book, plus tax, than Amazon does.

Are you talking about Scappi? Because I had exactly the same thought...

[msmemory.livejournal.com]

Yes indeedy. (And $40 more for the Caliph's Kitchen.)

Whoa. That's a price difference there. (Or "1/6 of a Brute Force corset.")

You're trying to put temptation in my way, aren't you?

I'm just helpin' ;)

(I bought one at Arisia and am very pleased with it. Also, he recommended a smaller size than I would have guessed, and that made me feel svelte. Honestly, when I first saw your mention of it, all I could think was "Where does she find evening gowns for $130?")

Nordstrom's online clearance, among other places. I'm thinking about this one.

But then I'm also thinking about the fun I'd have in Brute Force instead. ;)

That is just lovely.

(I recently bought a floor length evening gown from Igigi.com during the apres Christmas sales, but they seem to have discontinued it, so I can't show off with a handy link. Curses!)

Incidentally, the Learned One reminds me that I should talk up Mary of corsetmaker.net who made my custom corset for me. Beautiful work, insane structural integrity, and available from $169 in the fabric of your choice...

That's a lovely gown.

It reminds me a bit of one of my favorite gowns from TNG, actually -- one which wasn't spacey at all.
