Spice Guy, Tony Hill's Shop is down the street from my lab. I am a 
regular. We get many of our spices for banquets there. He meets or beats 
any other mail order source I've seen and is at least half as much as the 
spices at the grocery store.

As for quality, it's the best I've ever seen. He only deals with the 
growers themselves, and will not sell a product if it does not meet his 
standards. I never knew grains of paradise had so many tones in the 
flavor till I had some of his, and his saffron is positively juicy.

He carries cubebs, but not saunders. He has been known to get things like 
long peppers when asked nicely (and he now carries them routinely!). 
Saunders ins't really a spice, though, so I don't know if it's in his venue.

- --Anne-Marie, a total World Spice convert, who really really wants to see 
this guy stay in business for purely selfish reasons. :)
