LUGGERS:

Several days of posting ago, there was a mention of "Black Star, 60
Years of Photojournalism" (H. Neubauer 1997) [460 pages; 10.75" x 12.75"
x 1.75"].  My local book store, Border's [telephone:(703) 998-0404], has
it on sale for $29.98 plus VA sales tax of 4.5% ($31.33). This seems
like a very reasonable price.  Fred Ward has the cover photograph on the
jacket, so he should be able to confirm whether or not this is a good
price for the book.  I saw five or more copies.  U.S. Mail book rate
should be around $3.00 to $4.00 (guess estimate), or two day U.S. Mail
(great shipping boxes free, and my preference) $5.00 to $6.00.

If any five LUGGERS (in the U.S. only) want me to pick up a copy of
"Black Star" at this price and mail it to them, send me an E-mail before
Saturday, January 3, 1998, with your address and an expression of your
willingness to send me a check for the book and its shipping.   I will
stop and pick up the book(s) and confirm its purchase by E-mail.  The
regional U.S. Postal Service Station is about 10 minutes away (open
Sunday), so I should be able to mail the book by U.S. Two Day Mail this
weekend.
