I'm fortunate to live in a medium-sized city with a good quantity of Gothics at the local used bookstore.
However, there is definitely a particular delight in receiving Gothics in the mail. Yep, the anticipation...carefully opening that bubble-wrap mailer...and I love it when the book has been carefully wrapped in heavy brown or gray paper.
I've decided no more mail-order books, though. It adds up on the credit card, and besides I've got roughly 300 Gothics now.
It's difficult, though, because in the past 2 weeks I've seen 4 titles with gorgeous cover art I'd love to have - which would have to be mail ordered. *sad sigh*
So yes, there's the "blues" in that regard. It's definitely a treat, waiting for a Gothic novel package!
