[People discussing whether or not B. Dalton's will order textbooks.] To quote my husband: The world's most complete bookstore is the combination of BOOKS IN PRINT and the U. S. Post Office. BIP will tell you the price and the publisher's address. Send them a check for the price and they will be happy to send you the book. I do it all the time. Some publishers grudgingly send a note with the book saying "Next time please include N% for postage and handling," but that is unusual. Nobody has ever refused to send the book and at least once they sent a check with the book because if ordered direct, they gave a discount. I rarely order through a bookstore because it is so much easier to order the book and have it sent to me directly. BOOKS IN PRINT is available in just about every public library and many corporate libraries. Evelyn C.
