A "local" answer to Amazon?
Aug. 13th, 2007 11:39 pmThis looks like an interesting site: http://www.fishpond.com.au or http://www.fishpond.co.nz. What with all the kerfuffle about A&R, and the fact I still feel guilty when I walk into a Borders, this outfit run by a couple of kiwis looks worth a look. It has the Flannery book I've been looking for (and which none of the bookshops in Civic have in stock - I might have better luck in Manuka, and I am intending to look there this weekend), and it even has *gasp!* 8 books on polyamory!
Including The Lesbian Polyamory Reader, which may well be perfectly worthwhile, but which I've been gritting my teeth re buying due to the v. v. v. earnest-looking 80s-dykes-with-mullets-and-flannies cover (although *cough*, I have one flannie. I have never had a mullet. OMG, I'm not a twooo butch!). Maybe the book isn't all cultural-lesbo-feminist "all wombyn are higher-evolved beings who are naturally anarchist and share everything (including lovers)", but the signs aren't good. Athough it was actually published in 1999, so maybe it's just a bad choice of cover art.
Well, it's cheaper than ordering from Amazon. And the site's got a simple clean design too (reminiscent of Amazon's, but I suspect they may be using something like ZenCart underneath).
