I just purchased my copy of Noir from Amazon. Just so everyone knows, the book is out of print. If you can't find it at your local new/used bookstore or library and decide to go with Amazon, you'll have to purchase it from one of their Marketplace Sellers. As of right now, there are 10 copies of the hardcover and 30 copies of the paperback available which is more than enough to meet the demand of our little book club.

Please note that buying through a Marketplace Seller is sort of like buying from a seller at eBay. The transaction is safe since Amazon guarantees your purchase, but it takes a little bit longer for the item to reach you since the seller is usually a regular person. If it takes him/her a few days to get to the post office, it adds to the delivery time. My purchase from today is supposed to take 4-14 days to arrive, so you might want to buy early in order to have enough time to read it before the next discussion starts.

And, if you buy from Amazon by using one of the links on this site, I get a little commission on your purchase. It's not really a way for me to make money since it comes in the form of an Amazon gift certificate, but it does help offset the wads I spend on books which in turn leaves me some cash to pay for this web site. :)
