All, We will be placing a bulk order for the forthcoming Detroit Free Press book Gordie: The Legend of Mr. Hockey. List price is $15.95. We will probably receive a discount on account our bulk order although I am unsure at this point as to exactly how much that possible discount MAY turn out to be. TLN will assess a $1.00 per book handling charge to help partially offset the cost of this project on behalf of all Michigan libraries. Please send us your orders by no later than Friday, July 17. Thanks.
