BARGAIN BASEMENT 

Items on this page are now offered at 1/3 off the marked price.  

(Note:  Items in this section will still qualify for quantity discounts, but on the basis of the 1/3-off prices, not the list prices.  E.g., an order for covers list priced at $270 = $180 at 1/3 off, qualifies for a further 5% quantity discount, not 10%, from the $180.)

Also note:  Scans have been made on various scanners that have produced results from great to awful.  If in doubt about whether it is the scan or the cover that has a problem, please ask me.
