That would be awful!  I have goosebumps books that have lasted through 3
datedue slips...I think some of them last a good long time, especially for
the money...and I get them from book fairs, too, though I also buy them.  It
doesn't make sense to me to pay $25-$20 for a hardback book in a series that
may be of interest for only 5-10 years, at most.  We do have a lot of
goosebumps in hardback; they are worth it...but some of the others just are
not.
