Order your Summer beach reading books through Powells!

Not Amazon!

If you search for books on Powells, and then buy one, Corrente will get a 7.5% commission, so do the math. And you won't be causing Amazon warehouse workers in PA to work in brutal 110-degree heat. Flat rate of $3.99 for shipping, no matter how many books you buy. Free shipping for orders over $50!
