Writers Shop Online

My early morning routine involves steaming mugs of Bigelow's Hazelnut Vanilla tea, which I order online because local stores stopped carrying it, and waking up to the Today Show. This morning I was pleased, but not really surprised, to see our prime sponsor, BizRate.com, mentioned as a recommended shopping site. It's obvious from their ad in the top of the left column that they offer computers and other electronics. I wondered what other items useful to writers might lurk there. Right off I spotted a section on Books and Magazines and found Language Arts books. Imagine, a redneck dictionary for only $4, and Office Supplies carries everything from desks to pens. One of the warnings mentioned in the Today Show segment was to look out for shipping costs that inflate prices online. In the Special Offers section, I found a linked list of stores that offer free shipping. The site has multiple search features and even rates the stores. I noticed at the bottom of the page that it won a 2006 Circle of Excellence award.
