Often they will add new books from a popular author to their collection as soon as they are aware that there is demand.<br /><br />After reading a shared book you wish to purchase one, amazon.con often has lie new previously owned books for a fraction of their publishers suggested price.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363755.post-31428623867067826072009-01-21T08:57:00.000-05:002009-01-21T08:57:00.000-05:00@Carl V - Hah, I hadn't at all considered Backup f...@Carl V - Hah, I hadn't at all considered Backup from the perspective of a first time intro to Jim Butcher! In that regard I can see it being a nice little hook, since it's short, sweet and entertaining.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to hear of another convert! The Dreseden Files start of ok-to-pretty-good, but by book four they just get spectacular.

Now, I don't have any other Butcher to compare it to, but the story was interesting enough to me that I will try more.Carl V.
