nesfa books ordered

I haven't been ordering from publishers much lately, especially since my printed-paper catalog sending ground to a halt. A few standing orders are still erect, but not by much. I did manage to send a small one out to NESFA Press yesterday, however, catching up on titles they have published since my last order a couple years ago. There are other publishers I wish I were still getting more regularly -- and maybe I will -- but a lot of what I might have been stocking in the past is probably best to left to Amazon to sell.
