On amazon.com & thethingsiwant.com, yes. But, of course, I bought the book from a local bookstore rather than amazon.com, so it wouldn't show up as purchased... > > Darn.

I suggested to Flora that maybe we have a one-way Secret Santa (maybe we could call that Secret Satan) where "gift receivers" are randomly assigned to "gift buyers". A given person could be both a "potential gift receiver" and a "gift buyer", or just a "potential gift receiver". But, then again, maybe it's OK to have redundant books. > PS since Chris got me the Code book from Amazon does it come off my > wishlist? If he bought it directly from Amazon, yes.
