I can't buy a book without looking at the cover! I was thinking about why I can't buy books over the Internet, and that's got to be the main reason. Before I shell out the big bucks, and I do think books are expensive, I have to open them up and look and graze a few sentences, maybe even paragraphs, first. I remember when I used to buy brand new paperback books for 35 cents. A quart of milk was about 30 cents, a loaf of bread was about 30 cents. I was a kid, so movies were 35 cents. A comic book was a dime. A Coke was a nickle. And I am only 46 years old.
