[TRLog] How Widespread is it?

[Dale L Martin]

I'm just posting this to this reflector.

I received a note via another reflector from a ham who found the ARRL
Handbook for Radio Amateurs (2001 version) on sale at Barnes&Noble's
Bookstop bookstore up in Houston for $8.00.  That's right.

I went up there two days later and picked up the last copy, but with my
Bookstop reader's card, it was $5.20 for me.

This is apparently some sort of unannounced/unadvertised sale going on in
B&N/BS.  I've gotten a couple of e-mails from others around the Houston area
and they picked up handbooks at other B&N/BS stores.  So, if you have a B&N
or BS near you, it may be worthwhile to check it out.

Even if the tag says $32, take it to the front checkout counter (do NOT take
it to the information counter...I don't believe they have the sale prices
shown there, so they are going to tell you what's on the tag) and have them
scan it and confirm whether it is a sale item.

I don't know when the 'sale' ends, but enough of the stores in the Houston
area makes me think that this might be nationwide or regional.

I wanted to share this with fellow TRLog users as partial payback for the
help I've received here over the past few years.
