Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Beautiful covers.
Did the U.S. get the same 'adult edition' covers that the U.K did? I always liked these - despite being fairly cynical marketing.

Nope, we just got the one set that were well-done, but definitely more aimed at the kid-lit market.

The interview on last night's Daily Show was about the writing of the Constitution (the book is Plain, Honest Men). It sounded like it'd be a great addition to my history bookshelves, so I called the B&N that I work at to see if they had it in stock. They didn't, but the co-worker I was speaking with said that the bn.com site had it for less than our employee discount would provide (35% vs. 30%), so I headed over there to order it. I put in my membership discount for 10% more, then googled coupon codes to get another 10% off and I also found one that would get me 5% off and free shipping if I used my Visa debit card. So, combining those three with the 35% off the book already was, the $30.99 book ended up costing me $15.78 after adding $.99 tax.
