Where to drop your hard-earned cash

Bill Walsh's second book, "The Elephants of Style," comes out Friday, which makes today a good day to pre-order it. Amazon has it for 30 percent off.

What I'm most excited about: more Curmudgeon's Stylebook. The book description says includes entries such as Snarky Specificity, Metaphors, Near and Far and Actually is the New Like.

One thing I noticed while ordering: Amazon can give you a lot of information. The page had a list of my Amazon friends who had already bought the book.
