You can now buy books in our mall

Some time ago we received a very nice message from a lady at Bell. After reading our reviews, she had picked out a couple of titles for christmas gifts, and after a brief e-mail she was off to find an online store.

As from September, we will be providing links to a choice of online stores, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
