[AISLE-Share] timing for a book fair

In the past, kids have brought up a book marked "last copy" and ordered a
copy, which was then delivered to the school the week after the book fair
ended. However, in this past year the delivery hasn't happened within the
next week as much, but within two weeks or so.

Just something to keep in mind if school is out for summer soon after your
book fair.
