Textbooks Aren't Rabbits
—so we don't have an end-
less supply of them. Naturally
we can get enough to supply
every student, but frequently
we have to order books before
we have accurafe class enroll-
ment figures. Sometimes we
underestimate the popularity
of a course (we're human, fool),
and the only rule 'we can ap-
ply is a democratic one, "first
come, first served".

So come to the store early,
when we can give you the
very best possible service. And
if you're disappointed because
we don't have one of the books
