Kuehl said he mainly uses the site to research book values and special order books for customers from sellers the engine searches. &quot;It&#39;s really quite helpful,&quot; Kuehl said. &quot;We definitely use it.&quot; The site is free for users. The business is supported mainly through advertising, augmented by referral fees from some sellers. After conducting a book search, users can link to several book sellers to buy it. &quot;We wanted to be really, really ethical with the site, and make sure people knew what was going on,&quot; Chatterjee said. &quot;We didn&#39;t want any hidden finder fees or things like that.&quot; The philosophy seems to have worked. While other new and used book sites such as BigWords.com, Books.com and <em>JustBooks</em> have gone through restructurings, acquisitions or shutdowns, <em>BookFinder.com</em> continues building on its success.</span></q> </blockquote> <p> <strong>Martha Stewart Living (CBS) (United States), <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jhtml?type=content&amp;id=tvs7024"><q>Garden Design with Elizabeth</q></a></strong> (10 May 2002) </p> <blockquote><q><span lang="en">Garden Design Books...Gertrude Jekyll and Graham Stuart Thomas (Editor) &#39;Colour in the Flower Garden (Royal Horticultural Society Classic Garden Writers)&#39; (Timber, 1995; out of print) A reprint of the 1908 gardening classic by celebrated English painter, landscape designer, and writer Gertrude Jekyll, this tome offers a guided tour of her garden, complete with black-and-white photographs and fold-out garden maps...
