Yes, it's a real trawl through, and the site is very slooooow, but I found a couple on my wishlist and 3 books so free postage. I haven't had a look for ages, and you just have to be lucky that they have something you want.

I just type in the title I'm looking for and that's it. Do you do more than that?

[Marianne]

Brenda, I usually search the author, because there are often more than one I want...
