Thanks

Some of you might already be aware of this, but whenever you click on one of the books I have in the "currently reading" section of this blog, my ridiculously-massive wishlist, or any other link to amazon.com and then buy something, I receive between 4% to 6% of the price of that sale. It doesn't cost you anything (so don't worry), but as a result I've been able to accumulate a fair amount of credit with amazon.com to further add to my bookshelves. In fact, I was able to acquire Carnivorous Nights, Schaller's classic The Serengeti Lion, and (a true bargain) a 1st edition copy of Francis Buckland's Curiosities of Natural History free of charge, so by purchasing items from amazon.com through links from this blog you're directly helping my self-education and the generation of new and interesting content here. I definitely appreciate those of you who have helped me in this way, and I would continue to encourage you to keep on doing so in the future.
