I just got an e-mail from Barnes and Noble's website saying that their summer sale is ending in 12 days. That's too bad, because I'd been ordering far many more new books than I usually do due to this promotion (combined with the free shipping for 2 or more books, buying new at bn was much cheaper than buying used books).

I mean, I really wish I could always buy in-print books new, but I definitely can't afford that, especially since my salary was changed to Uruguayan pesos at half the current exchange rate. I'm now earning usd 250 a month, and I have a great job... Saying that things are bad here these days is an understatement.
