I found this site that claims to have over a million used books at any given time...just thought I would share w/you all.

Good site.

Also I recommend Half.com for finding good prices on used books. They also carry used videos, games, music, DVDs.

Valis,

: I found this site that claims to have over a million used books at any given time...just thought I would share w/you all.

I've been to Powell's. It's in Portland, Oregon and is the largest book store in the West. It's bigger than anything in Los Angeles, San Diego or Seattle. It has ACRES of books.

When I was there, I asked if they had any books on Unix. They said yes, and give me directions to find that section. "That section" on Unix alone was an entire ROOM of books on that subject! I kid you not. They have everything there. Someone once mentioned that there is a book store in Japan that is something like twenty stories high, but for the USA, Powell's is a great resource.

Thanks Valis,

An ex-jw recommended two books, "Who Wrote the Bible" and "Portrait of Jesus" I ordered both of them through Amazon. I was later told one was sent to the wrong place and would be sent to me when they got it back, something like a month ago. The other one, I was told, they no longer had.

I will try the one you posted.

Thanks again.

Thanks Valis.

Glad I could be of help. A quick search on their site got 76 hits for Jehovah....some crazy books I never heard of...but many are out of print...one nice thing though is they have a notification feature that will let you know if and when they get the book in.

I cannot think of two books that would cover my questions, more than these. You sound about the same spot in your spiritual life as myself.

I'll try Powell's and see.

Thanks Valis....and Fark
