An important footnote for 40% off ...
My husband finished the book he was reading after a week into our holiday. He was bored out of his wits, he needed something to read during the lull moments between dinner and bedtime. (Gab and I were hogging the laptop).
We found a Borders Express at Del Monte Shopping Center, Monterey. At the till, with Salman Rushdie's 'The Satanic Verses" in hand, the shop assistant asked if my husband was a Borders member. No, he wasn't, is there a fee to become one? We are from Australia ... The guy then said that membership was free and living overseas was not an issue for as long as my husband had an email address! A no-brainer ... then he declared that as a signing up bonus our purchase that day was discounted at 40% off.
In retrospect, we should have bought more than one book ... but then it would not fit in our luggage. Darn!
