Sorry for posting this twice but I had it in the wrong place.

I just recieved 3 books by Judy Gale Roberts Intarsia from the scratch and dent sale.
They were delivered Tuesday and placed between my screen door and the front door, unfortunately we had a mini monsoon here Teusday so my books were soaked. If I may make a suggestion to Fox Chapel, use the plastic lined mailers instead of the paper mache filled bags that act like a wick.
I am miffed at my mailman for leaving them that way. UPS always puts my stuff in a plastic bag when it is raining.

I managed to iron all the pages on one of the books and spread the other two open to let the pages dry. The books are still serviceable although hte tops of all the pages are wrinkled big time. The quality of the paper used by Fox chapel is so good that it it actualy got pockets of air(blisters) when I ironed them.

Hi Rolf,
I passed this message on to our warehouse and sales department.

Thanks Bob,
For the record that was not a complaint against Fox Chapel.
I have now bought several books from the scratch and dent sales and I will be dipped if I can ever find anything wrong with them.

I appreciate your feedback, Rolf! I know it wasn't intended as a complaint, but I wanted our warehouse people to be aware!

Bob
