[LM_NET] Tar: HS Book Fair

[Lisa Campbell <ljcampbell@SBCGLOBAL.NET>]

Hi, 
My predecessor did an in school Barnes and Noble book fair for the two previous 
years.  This year when I called, Barnes and Noble said that they no longer do 
onsite book fairs.  Our school is a good 45 minutes from the nearest Barnes and 
Noble.  It had been a community type event in the past and they sold a lot of books 
in two days.

We set up a Cyber fair and a "go to the B and N," but did not get a lot of 
business.  We also borrowed 100 books from Barnes and Noble and set them up so that 
students could order them.  (We took orders and money.)

Long story short - it has been more of a head ache than anything else.  Not many 
sales.  Books aren't in when promised, etc.  

Anyway, are there any other alternatives for in school book fairs for HS?  It was 
very successful as a see it, buy it, take it type book fair.  

Any feed back would be appreciated!
Thanks!
