You guys are too funny. Why not do up flyers like wanted posters to post in the Post Office? (Wanted Readers or some other caption like that!)

Zada,
do you mean like, "Dead or Alive?" Could that apply to the sales?

No, Abe, dead readers wouldn't do us much good. lol! Don't they do wanted posters that are 'wanted alive'? I don't think too many people pay attention to them anymore, but with a picture of a book cover, it might at least make folks curious!

Shelagh,
four stars. I guess now I'm a general. Just don't ask me why we're still in Iraq.

Seriously, thanks for the honor.

Zada,
you have just proved how two people can take one word and understand it differently.
But as a General, am I permitted at your 4-star hotel? bounce
