Books Bought Nov 12th

22) A + E 4ever by ilike merey (pdf)
Where? Lethe Press
Why?

Brit Mandelo has a brief positive review this graphic novel on her lj. I have more faith in Mandelo's reviews than I do in most.

I like Lethe Press but their website is appalling (this may not be entirely their fault, I've heard that Amazon have patented so much of their website that building a good book selling website without infringing is very difficult).
The digital version was only available in pdf, which is a terrible format, but it's much of a muchness given that graphic novels are a bit terrible digitally.
Lethe also uses amazon checkout, I'm not sure it this breaks my policy of boycotting Amazon. I don't think Amazon's fees are any higher than paypal, so the publisher's still getting the same cut as they would have otherwise, and anywhere it's their site and this is what they've gone with so maybe I don't want to over think this.
The price is in Dollars and unlike paypal Amazon payments doesn't tell me how much I'm being charged in euro, either at time of purchase or on my receipt, which is a little annoying.

The Damage €6.46


Total spend €273.81
