[AISLE-Share] Scholastic Dollars- Shipping?

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

I totally agree with all of you!  I had to grin and bare it when I paid $27
for a picture book!  And I was encouraged to get everything in one shipment
as there's a $200 cap on shipping per order.  I can stretch my money so
much farther with other vendors.

Happily, we were able to have a Follett book fair already this year, and it
was fabulous.  While it's not quite as much profit as taking books from the
fair, I can use titlewave (ohhh, the freedom!) and their very affordable
rebound books and fill in the holes in our collection with needed books and
free shipping!  I am ecstatic!
