Hanna -- Re: Internet
Hanna, you asked about internet purchases. Most of the books and videos I've acquired during the past couple of years have come straight to my house here in Taipei through Amazon.com. The company is completely reliable, number-one rated for customer service and satisfaction, and secure (I believe they even promise to cover losses from someone else's misuse of your credit information). If you're dissatisfied in any way, Amazon will make it right.
The standard international shipping costs are very reasonable, but if you just can't wait, you can also get items through priority shipping.
I mention this especially because, as popular as many of the recommended books are, it may take a bit of time and luck to get to the right stores that actually have them in stock at the time of your father's visit. With time and gasoline having their own costs, the Amazon shipping charges might seem quite reasonable.
By the way, you can begin your Amazon search by checking the Stroke of Genius "
art books" page. This has the benefit of routing a small commission (no extra charge to you, of course) to Cynthia in support of this site. As you browse through the other topics in this "Books, Videos, and Publications" section, you'll see the above-mentioned titles and many others in red type
(like this), which means they're already linked to Amazon. Just click away.
