Wow, isn't competition great. The
Megastores would like to put
all the little stores out of business so they can gouge you on books
just as much as they gouge you on shipping! Not going to happen!
Typically FrogPicks
will save you up to half your shipping costs on new books
and between $1.53 and $3.12 (per book!) on used books. Hey, that's
more than many of them cost!!!
