Damaged and Lost Book - Solution

["Picone's" <rpicone@GARDEN.NET>]

One solution I have arrived at to great advantage -- I no longer charge for
lost or damaged books, but ask the parent and student to replace the volume
with one of equal or greater value from their own collections at home.
Guilt works.  I have already had ten books replace one.  Only requirement
is that the books be in suitable condition and age appropriate.  I get
final refusal or acceptance on replacements offered.  Might work for some
of you on occasion.
