I buy enough from Amazon to make it well worth my while. They might even offer the service, which is by UPS air, to Alaska...

Yes, I thought you would like that trio of books; glad you liked them. So I've been trying to figure out just how I latched onto them. I'm pretty sure it was one of those Amazon "if you liked one book, you might like these" referrals. Now I'm stuck trying to figure out referral from what. Wow!

I also plan on checking out the SF links. Thank you, cannot wait to head to the library and/or book store this weekend!

Pretty good selections. As long as once a month you remember to check off don't send you're safe. To check them out -- www.sfbc.com. I still miss Astounding Science Fiction Magazine. We cut our teeth on that back in 1950. For years and years I’ve belonged to Science Fiction Book Club - no fees, no limits and can be checked out online. Pretty good selections.
