Hi Dave,

RH>  DD> You won't find a lot of Tom Clancy on BookBub. It's sort of
RH> like a

RH> Not even the older ones?

 DD> I have serious doubts that you will find *ANY* Tom Clancy on BookBub.
 DD> But, there are other source - I scored a lot of Clancy (and others)
 DD> from the internet news groups alt.binaries.e-books and
 DD> alt.binaries.ebook

OK, other sources to check out, as time & money permit.

 DD> As soon as my replacement Kindle arrives I will be back to working my
 DD> way through the complete Travis McGee series.

I'm still on the Joseph of Arimathera book.

RH>  DD> remainder bin - reduced price or free. I have scored some gems
RH>  DD> - much as I used to do in the remaindered racks at the record
RH>  DD> stores (when there were actual, physical record stores around)
RH>  DD> or the $1 tables at Barnes & Noble or Walden Books.

RH> Have to take a look and see what I can score.

 DD> Good luck. It's a daily e-mail listing to your inbox. And I don't
 DD> always find something worthwhile. But, often enough that I keep them
 DD> around.

OK, would rather have a weekly listing but will go with daily. I can
always unsubscribe if it gets too bothersome.


RH>  DD> Well, yeah. Same here. Right now I am reading an Alternate
RH>  DD> History novel in hard cover as the display on the Kindle has
RH>  DD> gone all raggedy and unreadable. I bought a replacement on eBay
RH>  DD> which should be here by Tuesday next. Wednesday at the latest.

RH> I'm reading a hardback (fiction) bio of Joseph of Arimathea. Found
RH> it at the Sharing Shop, when I'm done, it'll go back there.

 DD> That's Joshua ben Joseph's uncle, right? I believe he was mentioned in
 DD> Holy Blood, Holy Grail.


Don't know any Joshua ben Joseph; this one is the one that offered his
new tomb for Jesus' burial when He was taken off the cross.

RH>  DD> Another computer program I recommend for readers is Calibre -

RH> OK, good to know and give it a look-see.


RH> I'm going to pass my Food Newtork and Cooking Light magazines to our
RH> neighbor. She's beginning to get into cooking so figure she might
RH> have fun with them.

 DD> The only cooking magazine to which I subscribe is SAVEUR - I was
 DD> really torqued when Conde' Nast ditched Gourmet and kept Bon Apetit,
 DD> Gourmet
 DD> had, by far, the superior writing and food porn adverts.

Only cooking magazine I've paid for is the CL, FN one was a gift from
Rachel for several years.

RH>  DD> Pepitas (pumpkin seeds) would work, too. It's a pretty
RH>  DD> versatile recipe.

RH> OK, nice to know so I can pick & choose next time I need to
RH> replenish. They're usually a Whole Foods purchase but got some at
RH> the Mennonite store in PA on one of our recent trips.

 DD> I like pepitas nearly any way I find them. They're quite versatile -
 DD> in mole, in salads, as snacks, as garnish, etc.

And not that hard to roast your own, provided you've got a pumpkin on
hand.
