NOPE - And my general reaction to the proposal is BLEH!

A. NO!!

B. If they must do it then here is my list:

		1. Overseas versions of Amazon. -> amazon.co.jp / amazon.co.fr /  
amazon.co.de / amazon.co.uk
		2. Domestic Amazon
		3. Alibris and other rare and used book dealers: Shorey's  
(Seattle), Powell's (Portland), Mo's (San Francisco)
		4. Online Fabric Stores like Thai Silks
		5. Online Rare Food Outlets (e.g., roasted chestnut flour)
		6. Tandy is a pretty obvious candidate.
