Can't vouch for Peace Like a River, but Skycow did provide me with my copy of Flannery's Greatest Hits (actually, complete works...but it's all the same with her) and it is as wonderful as Austin says. It's cloth-bound, hard-backed, and even has one of those built in silk book markers (for those who read the Bible, you should know what I'm talking about).
<br><br>I couldn't recommend Flannery more highly - nor could I do so for Skycow (excellent service and quick delivery)!<br><br>Cheers!<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/13/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Austin Storm

Just received a memo from head office. Apparently I'm supposed to talk about books now, not sports. It's only a coincidence that I like books more than sports. Don't let that distract you. I am incapable of independent action or thought. They told me to say that, too. It's like that bit in Pirates of the Caribbean:
<br><br><pre><b> MULLR0Y<br></b> What's your business in Port Royal, 'Mr. Smith' ?<br><br><b> MURTOGG<br></b> And no lies!<br><br><b> JACK SPARROW
<br><br></b> None? Very well. You've rumbled<br> me. I confess: I intend to<br> commandeer one of these ships,<br> pick up a crew in Tortuga, and go<br> out on the account, do a little
<br><br> honest pirating.<br><br><b> MURTOGG<br></b> I said, no lies.<br><br><b> MULLR0Y<br></b> I think he's telling the truth.<br><br><b> MURTOGG
<br><br></b> He's not telling the truth.<br><br><b> MULLROY<br></b> He may be.<br><br><b> MURTOGG<br></b> If he were telling the truth he<br> wouldn't have told us.
<br><br><b><br></b><b> JACK<br></b> Unless, of course, he knew you wouldn't<br> believe the truth if he told it to you.</pre><br>We all need a little more good, honest fiction in our lives. In that spirit I have some book suggestions for this summer. Yes, I own a bookstore so this is sortof self-promotiony. I hope you'll forgive... I carry the books because I really like them.
<br><br>Peace Like a River<br>This is terrific fiction. There were several times while I was reading that I 'jumped back' a paragraph or even a chapter so I could prolong the experience of reading this book.
