<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Harryj, post: 489842, member: 14623&quot;]While my car was getting work done at the garage today, I visited the bookstore and purchased the blue book.

I could understand if it was a large quantity or moving inventory that was hard to sell.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Harry[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
