Finding Rose Books to Buy Online, Just before We're Expected to Switch to Mobile Phone Apps--Is this an historical note?

Good news (9 May 2013): Peter Scheider on Roses is available through Amazon.com and Abebooks.com. Standard Shipping fee from Amazon's Outside Sellers is US $3.99 for delivery in the US. Today's lowest price for a New copy from them is $2.79. For a Used copy the price is 1 cent and up. A Used copy in Like New condition is 44 cents. Abebooks is in Canada. When I look (from the US), Abe's Standard Shipping fee to the US ($3.49) and the book prices are given in US$, with links to see the values already converted to other currencies. Your credit card charges will show a small fee for currency conversion. Addall.com and Biblio.com are other choices. Amazon.co.uk and its Outside Sellers offer books the other sites the other dealers don't have (for roses and textiles). The same is true for titles from Amazon.co.jp. Use the translation link at the top of the home page to translate the site. You can search their entire site or you can restrict your search to books printed in English. I haven't bought books from them and don't know their shipping charges. Even with payment for air shipment, the lowest price is sometimes at Amazon.co.uk or their Outside Sellers.

I hope you have good luck. I have. If you find only preposterous prices, check again from time to time. It helps to look at plenty of listings. A huge price may be a couple of inches from a good price. A copy that's cheaper or has something that's special to you may be low on a list that's supposed to go from the lowest price to the highest. New copies can be cheaper than used ones. When you find a copy whose condition and price seem okay to you, read the ads for copies that cost a little more. You might be willing to pay more for a book that has the author's signature, a personal inscription, a little drawing, or a pressed flower.

Happy trails, Pem
