When a friend personally recommends a book to me, I'll buy it online, sight unseen. When I'm not certain, and I need to "fondle" the book, I gladly give (correction: used to give) Katherine the few extra dollars. I consider this simply to be the COST of book fondling. Anxiously awaiting the "buggy whip" rebuttal.
