[CASL-L] Success with book fairs other than Scholastic?

[Elizabeth Doran]

Hi,
I will also say that I am totally frustrated with scholastics. I’m having
my fiar now, they barely sent picture books and I went to restock and there
is no stock:( In addition the cases are old and the shelving is broken on
some of them.

I am open to suggestions
Beth
