[aisle] Anderson’s Book Fair?

[Sheri Schubbe]

*100% RECOMMEND Anderson's Book Fair Company!!!* They are a family-owned
company and highly value their customers. They have a really great
selection of books and customer service is excellent. Record keeping is
stream-lined, and I love having the opportunity to schedule author visits
through them.

I quit Scholastic 8 years ago when they told me they would send only boxes
for table display and were very rude on their phone calls.
