Its a bit newer than booksalefinder but it allows me to do zip code search. When I travel and I don't know the surrounding cities, it was hard to find sales within a decent radius. Now I can easy search with out doing the work of comparing maps. I have been using booksalemanager.com to find sales as well.

I recently read "What You Don’t Know You Know: Our Hidden Motives in Life, Business, and Everything Else," written by <a href="http://eisold.rt7media.net/about-ken/" rel="nofollow"> Kenneth Eisold </a> and found the book to be truly eye opening... I highly suggest it. I think it is extremely important to find books that are relevant and beneficial [not a waste of time].

Even without the discussion, that's valuable." "For myself, I find that writing down ideas that come from Al's commentary and sharing them helps me to remember them and to use them. It's just one more benefit of participating in the ESC Book Club." Harry Keller gave permission to quote his comments from the ESC Members’ newsgroup:

I've bought books from Book Closeouts, and also have found that they are often very cheap when purchased used from Amazon. I've been participating in the ESC Marketing Book Club since it started. It's much more productive than reading the books on my own, because of Al's commentary and the excellent input from other members. Al’s suggestions are all good.
