Re: Ah a quest!
I will be the first to admit that I purchase many books and such off the Net. It's just so damned easy. However, the thing is, you buy something off the Net when you know exactly what it is you are looking for.
For the wonderful experience of "browsing" the shelves, and seeing something great you didn't even know was there before, a bookstore is essential. Random hunting just isn't the same on Amazon.
