Writes Betty Gettler:

You’re absolutely right about Amazon’s amazing inventory. For instance, no matter how obscure the topic about the railroads (my favorite hobby of all time) that I enter into their book search, they always have something about it. Indeed, they offer books in much greater variety than I would have dreamed of on that topic! My newest is a fascinating book found through a search for something else. I’d never heard of this book, written in the late eighteen hundreds in great detail, on the production and transportation of anthracite coal, but it’s riveting to read all of this by a man who was there when business was entering into what I consider to be American’s most productive times — from about 1890 to about 1910.

Best of all is that one needn’t waste time or gas going from store to store, and one certainly wouldn’t come across the immense variety to be found at Amazon. Your articles are great!
