does anybody have any suggestions on where to buy
Shadowrun books on the internet? I'm looking for an
e-shop (possibly in the UK) selling rpg stuff.

Thanks
M.

Hey there,

I recommend http://www.leisuregames.com I have had good service from them
in the past, and they do online purchasing as well as mail order.

For general places like www.stiggybaby.com is quite good, I'm afraid I get
a good chunk of my stuff from overseas.
For the UK, http://www.take2theweb.com/pub/leeds/travman// (Travelling Man)
have just started an online ordering system, it only covers new releases
ATM but their stock and mail order have been very good in the past and
they're working to take in their whole stock.

Please note I do not gain anything from these :D

Like John said, try http://www.leisuregames.com; I'm not connected with
them in any way either, but have been a satisfied customer for about ten
years. And if you happen to be in London, a visit to their shop in Finchley
is highly recommended, too :)

If you don't mind my asking, where abouts are you located? Aside from Leisure Games down
in London, there's also my local shop Waylands Forge- waylandsforge.co.uk- up here in
Birmingham as well. Has a good selection of books, good service and Rog, the owner, is a
big enthusiast. :)

Travelling Man is quite good, from what I've seen from them at conventions,
though I wasn't too impressed with what they had at their Leeds shop
(but that might have been because I was there only a few days after
GenCon UK 2001, so they probably hadn't unpacked everything yet).

They're my local store so I should say something good about them :) They
always seem to have a pretty good selection of everything except the
game I'm interested in at the time (but then, the same applies to every
games store I've ever been in, so it must be either me or some mystic
phenomena).

As with so many of these things - enthusiastic staff and good service
count for much more.
