Barnes and Noble

[Molly Pearson <mapearso@GTE.NET>]

Hi All,
I have two comments re the Barnes and Noble discussion:
1. If you are tax exempt, thank your lucky stars!  In Washington State, we
have to pay sales tax on everything we purchase--even if it is from out of
state(we have to report that to the state and pay the taxes)--therefore,
being a tax-supported entity, we pay more sales tax than the average
taxpayer!  I could voice an opinion about the wisdom of paying taxes with
tax money, but I bet you can predict what I might say.
2. Try supporting your local bookstore.  Most locally owned bookstores take
Purchase Orders, special order what you want, give at least a 15% discount,
and your money stays in the community!
...getting off my soapbox...
Molly
