I like going to real bookstores to check out what’s available, then I try to find the book at my local library (cause I’m cheap). I’ve ordered the books on [www.half.com](http://www.half.com) and I should get them in about two weeks.

I bought most of Hamillton’s books in paperback but I just couldn’t wait until Narcissus in Chains and A Kiss of Shadows were released in hardback. I guess after I read those books, I’ll turn right around and sell the set on [www.half.com](http://www.half.com). But thanks for all of your suggestions.
