All three schools did not get their order delivered until Thursday around1:30. We were supposed to get it Wednesday since conferences were Thursday. Luckily the set up was super easy unlike Scholastic which seems to take forever. Follett had 4 cases which are super nice looking, and the table displays come in wire racks already set up and you just plunk them on the table. The cash register is super easy too. I like the clean looking set up and the only "junk" they have is pens and erasers which went super quick but they don't replenish. I don't like the fact that the books are mostly hardcover and definitely more expensive as a whole than Scholastic. But they are nice looking and not bent or open or ratty looking like some of Scholastics are. The overall appearance of the fair is nicer and everyone has commented on that - kids, teachers and parents. </div><div>Something that worries me is that I have a day and a half left of the fair and I am barely half of what I made last year with Scholastic. So I am still a bit mixed - Scholastic reps seem better - more personal contact as opposed to email. Also, I feel like there are 3 or 4 different people emailing me from Follett, so I am not 100% sure who to contact with an issue. </div><div> I felt like I could get what I wanted with Scholastic, Follett limits your choices (they pick the # of cases based on your past sales, you can only pick a certain amount of categories like State award winners, bargain books, etc.) I do like that Follett automatically sends you stuff based on your sales, so you don't have to think what you think will go fast and things can be drop shipped. </div><div>I am having a Scholastic Buy One Get One in the spring because Follett doesn't offer one and I like to do that so the kids have books for the summer. </div><div> I haven't decided what to do next fall yet.</div><div>Hope that helps.</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, Nov 14, 2018 at 8:36 PM Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div>This may already have been discussed in the past, but has anyone had a Follett Book Fair this year?
