A different needle work mystery series

Haven't read it but did see it in Borders the last time I was in....and took a look, didn't buy but did think about it.

Nancy

It got decent reviews on the Kindle site.

Yup, and the KIndle Edition is more expensive than the paperback!

Alex

I read it. It was fun, a light read, good for a library check out.

Sorry to have to correct you but the Kindle edition is $5.99 and the paperback is $6.99 plus shipping.

Lucille

Read it and it was good

Ok then!

Can anyone post a link that works....or the name of the book??

It's The Quick and the Thread by Amanda Lee

Nancy

The name of the book is "The Quick and the Thread", I think Amanda Lee is the author. Too lazy right now (or not quite awake enough) to double check

True, if you compare amazon against amazon. If one looks *directly below* the kindle price, one finds "new from $3.51" for the paperback. I figure if you can buy the PB new for $3.51, why buy the kindle at $5.99?

Alex

Don't forget shipping charges from the vendor. Shipping a paperback, even the cheapest way, will cost more than $1.50. While Amazon proper has free shipping if you order $25 worth of stuff, most of their vendors (which are the 'new from' sources) don't.

I hate to be so contrary, but did you add shipping cost, and possibly tax, to that price?

You are not contrary, girl, you're just keeping me honest.

I buy from amazon periodically, and try to bundle to avoid shipping charges. But you have a good point: I wanted to buy something (three books) from Amazon, but they were available only from associates. As it turned out, one dealer had all three. So far so good....

But: they treated each order as separate, with its own minimum shipping charges! So, $14 worth of books was to cost me nearly $21 in shipping! Hey!! No deal, Lucille!

A good thing to watch for with Amazon associates.

I just thought I'd mention I use amazon a lot, and I fournd emailing the reseller to ask about combined shipping usually has them reply to go ahead and purchase the items, and then they'll refund you the extra shipping charges that amazon makes them charge to list the tiems. Very rarely do I get no response or a reseller telling me they won't do that. Usually they say they will, and then they do it. -Margaret in MA
