Amazon UK has been my almost-exclusive book buying venue of the last 10 years. But now I'm using The Book Depository because it offers not only a discount but guaranteed free p&p. Sorted. It also has an editor's blog that demonstrates an interest in, above all, books.
Interviews, features and reviews - FREE! Presented as an alphabetically arranged, easily navigable, and beautifully designed PDF.

not a bad collection of Blanchot.
where’s the US equivalent, i wonder.
though speaking of Blanchot, it’s high time for a re-issue of _The Unavowable Community_, FFS.
The Book Depository is excellent, it has huge discounts and less packaging than Amazon, yes, saves trees too!
I also ordered some books from BookDepository for the first time on October 2010.
At early November, and while my books never arrived, they said that a full refund of 137.5 euros will appear in my account shortly.
Shortly became FOREVER, so at January 10 of 2011 after I managed to find aphone number of them at last(!!!),some representative called Lu reassured me that they would send a cheque shortly (AGAIN!).
Then on February 17 after I wrote them that if I don’t get my cheque until the 25th, everyone on the web would hear my story, they replied that they would immediately contact their accounting department in order to send the cheque ….guess again….SHORTLY!
I really hope they will clear my issue eventually and save me from 137.5 euros of expenditure, which -believe me- in Greece especially is a large amount of money!
