I bought Marie Phillips
gods behaving badly for my wife and I both. But in another one of those Twilight Zone moments, I noticed on the inside cover Ms. Phillips profile speaks to me:
Marie Phillips was born in London in 1976. she studied anthropology at Cambridge University and worked as a researcher at the BBC. More recently she has worked as an independent bookseller white writing Gods Behaving Badly.
There that phrase goes again:
independent bookseller.
Also, for my own reference is
Courtyard Books (where I purchased the novel) credit policy.
"Bring in your paperbacks and receive a 25% credit toward the price of each of your books. You then purchase our gently used paperbacks at 50% off, plus tax and a $.25 service / restocking fee per book. If you have store credits you pay for your purchase using 1/2 credit and 1/2 cash or check."Used books, I'm quickly learning it's all about credit.
