I always prefer Amazon because you can easily read reviews for the product that you want. You can compare prices or check some used items if interesting. I have tried buying direct to the company but when I compared it with amazon I got it for lesser price of the same product and quality.
Some leading companies too are sellers in Amazon and they sell it for less. Also the return policy is great - shop with confidence! Don't forget to use coupon before checkout and save.
For coupons, I search it in retailmenot.com.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
