[Bookstoprisoners] FW: [Imc] copier

[Sandra Ahten]

How about BtP get that copier as detailed in option #1 below for our use 
during the month of October. I think for $60 we could save money, 
considering fliers we will need to have made and the zine.

What do you think?

Chris, If we decide to go ahead with this, would you be willing to call 
Bundy's and work out the details, be there when they delivered,  and take 
instruction.

I'll write them a check and then get reimbursed through our account.

Please email any objection in the next couple of days.
