Bob and I are joining a discussion group on Saturdays this month and next at church. We were told we could find the book at Costco or on line. Bob called the Borders nearby and they said they had several copies but when he got there the books set aside for us were written by Steven King.
On January 2 we decided we'd place an order on Amazon. In order to qualify for free shipping, I included 3 other books I had in my on line "shopping basket."
Last Sunday there were a few copies of the book at church for sale but I told Bob I had received an email that the books were shipped. They had been but I had not read carefully enough to see that they were expected to arrive via the US postal service today, January 10.
Free shipping = slowest shipping. The good news is the box arrived yesterday. We have each finished our assigned chapters in preparation for our class which meets in 2 hours.
A bargain can cost time or inconvenience but saving $ helps. Note: I would have purchased the other books eventually. This was my opportunity to save on shipping costs.
'til later
