  10. @futurescape Thx. Am chking out Oxford. Others don't inspire much consumer confidence. :-/
  11. Q: How would one remotely gift books / etc to somebody in India? I'm sure I'm not the only one to ask this question. Any help appreciated!
  12. .@futurescape Hmm... any e-tailers focused mainly on books n stuff? Sounds like an untapped oppty to me. But could be user hesitation.
  13. @nixxin Thx. Will check it out.
  14. @ianw1965 Re: street photography and random bans, check out @thomashawk, who's been chronicling random police "orders"
  15. @pkedrosky I felt the same about Cameron's Titanic. My image of Titanic came from NatGeo's excavations/pics. Film was just a-ok.
  16. @nixxin @futurescape @achitnis Folks: what's India's Amazon.com? Books etc e-tailer w/ good reputation, accepts foreign cc, ships fast? thx
