Re: GEN:Scholastic Lowers profit margin

[Wanda Nall <wnall@new-murphey.tenet.edu>]

I had a huge book fair this past fall, I think I had 8 cases and tons of
boxes of books to take out and put somewhere.  My entire library was full
and we could not circulate that week because we could not get to the
shelves. I have already informed them not to send me that much again.  We
do not have the time to set up and tear down that kind of fair and it is a
little overwhelming to the students.  "Too much choice."
