I don't buy books I cannot thumb through and get a feel for.

Totally different from me then. I look at recommendations in different places, and perhaps try to get something by the author from the library, and then order Online based on that. I never buy from bookstores.

By the way, as a personal note, you might want to think twice about recommending books that are hard to get. It's one reason (besides simply forgetting about him) that I didn't recommend a good author like Michael Moorcock.

Why? A good book is a good book even if it's hard to get your hands on. All the more reason to recommend it, since it's less likely that one would pick up the book by accident.
