Hello Netters,
Just had to jump in on the Book Fair thread! I have not done one in YEARS
and don't plan on any in the future. Why? Three reasons: the books are way
overpriced, the "junk" sells much better, and the classrooms use Trumpet,
etc. book clubs and the kids purchase the same books for a lower price
there. The last time I did a book fair we didn't even make a profit! Too
much hassle for me.
When the book fair reps call I just tell them I'm not interested - that is
if the office secretary has not already "fielded" the call for me. I ask her
to take a message and then "somehow" misplace the information. The reps
usually don't call back.
Same goes with preview books. Way too much hassle for me.
