Yes, friends it's true, I'm officially Addicted to Amazon co.uk (and sometimes .com) I first started noticing there was something wrong when my local comic shop closed down last year. I needed that weekly fix, flipping through those fresh pages, smelling the paper ahhh... you can't beat it. The nearest comic shop is about 20 miles away in Nottingham, so I don't get there very often. I'm so out of touch with the comics scene and I always like to 'look before I buy' (there's nothing worse than buying a comic with a great cover, then finding crap interiors) so it rules out ordering online.
Now I'm forced to buy collections, which is good in a way as I stacked up comics on a weekly basis and only got to reading a few. So, you see, in a round about way I'm saving money. Well, that's what I tell my wife each time the next cardboard packet/ large box arrives:)
This is a my most recent stash....

Too much spare money methinks, some of those hardbacks still aren't so cheap on Amazon! Still I'm just jealous I'd like some of those fine books.
I know exactly how you feel, Amazon is so enticing. It offers all these goodies and before you know it, you trapped into spending a small fortune. Ahh the problems of being a geek. Although, I suppose in the long run, it's cheaper than crack coccaine...just
You've got a bunch of good reads there. My comic store just permanently closed, too, so I'm ready to put in a Amazon order myself. The discounts are sooo tempting.
Amazon don't let you stand about reading comics for free all afternoon though do they?
I suspect this might be a little closer for you.

I wouldn't risk it on a Saturday though. It's full to bursting with folk playing Magic.
