Based on your comment, you probably don't need this, but this is an excellent and informative book about the history of the post office: https://www.amazon.com/How-Post-Office-Created-America/dp/0143130064/

It's sitting on my bookshelf. 😆 Haven't read it yet, but I do own it.

I recommend checking out ThriftBooks over Amazon, they sell new and used books, and they're not Amazon 😆

Indeed, I'm working on reducing the tech giants in my life, though still focusing on Google. If it's any consolation, I used my browser over the app to get that link so that I could remove the tracking. I appreciate the alternative recommendation; my reading has gone way down since having a kid, so most of my online purchases are no longer books.

However ... I'll try to default to Goodreads for recommendations.

Thanks again!
