[aisle] Follett Book Order

[Smolka, Matt]

I've found ordering things unprocessed gets them to me quicker.  I also try
to only order items from them that say they are in stock.  With that said I
haven't ordered nearly as much from them this school year as I did in the
past.  I've been ordering from a local bookstore and the shipping times are
much better.  The only drawback is I can't get library bound books.
