A copy of an e-mail sent by James Dobson, warning parents about two
specific books supposedly sold by Scholastic Book Fairs was given to my
principal by a parent. The principal passed it on to me.  I do not
remember seeing these particular books at my book fairs and if I saw
anything objectionable I would have removed it from the Fair. The e-mail
also states that many others like the two offending titles are being
sold by Scholastic. I don't agree with these statements but we are a
Christian school and I need to be sensitive to these complaints. The
parent suggests we use God's World Book Club instead of Scholastic. I
have been happy with Scholastic and the percentage of profit is less
with God's World Book Club. I rely heavily on this income to boost my
meager budget.

My questions: 1. Do you have a rationale you could share with me beyond
what I have used for keeping Scholastic? 2. Has anyone had experience
with God's World Book Fairs? The address is for North Carolina. How do
you receive the Book Fair? Do they have regional offices? 3. If you have
held a God's Word Book Fair, what were your profits?

Thanks for your collective wisdom!
