I highly recommend Powell's Books, a great bookstore, either their online store or the real one in Portland, Oregon. I was looking for a copy of the book A Short History of the Printed Word by Warren Chappell that was mentioned a while back at A List Apart in the article Reading Design by Dean Allen. Dean raved about the design of the book, so I looked for it at my local bookstore and discovered that the trade paperback listed for $24.95. I found a nearly new hardback copy at Powell's for $10.00. While at the Powell's site I picked out a book recommended in the Post Book World, The Emigrants by W.G. Sebald. I was surprised to read last week that Sebald died on Dec. 16 in a car accident.
