A new way to watch what the people ahead of you in line are buying

This link is pretty cool.  The promising part is free shipping anywhere in the world.

The other day I was in the Christian living section of a large bookstore.  The people next to me were talking about The Shack  – – I desperately wanted to give some pastoral input, or at least point them to Tim Challies’ review.  They next mentioned The Prayer of Jabez and it was all I could do to remain silent.

So I admit it.  When I’m in a bookstore – – particularly in the Christian section – – In a subtle way – – at least I hope it is subtle – – I take note of what other people are buying.  I have been known to give input.

Now, with this nifty feature, at The Book Depository, you can follow what people are buying around the world.  It makes me want to buy a book from them, just to see if Stillman Valley shows up on the map.

Better yet – – why don’t you buy a copy of some random book (such as this one), and let me know if it works for you.
