Dear Safranim One must assume that Safranim searching for a book have already exhausted their local resources.
While no-one can, nor should, argue against Safranim who propose purchasing books from local bookshops rather than through the mighty www, they should not complain when Safranim inform others of a book's availability on the web. After all, how else can a distant correspondent help the person searching for an item? He or she cannot know the whereabouts of local bookshops, nor whether any one of them stock it or will take the trouble to locate and order it. I would suggest that willing helpers continue to inform Safranim of where books can be found on the web and leave it to the (now more informative) recipient to decide whether to buy it from that source or from the local bookseller which undoubtedly should be the better choice.
