suphew Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Suggest you guys ring first and make sure they actually have it in stock (and if they do let me know!). Most stores have it listed on their books, and will give a price, then ring Mulfords only to find there is none in stock. They then to lose interest very quickly when they find out I only want 1-2 sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newtman Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 i gave mulfords a ring today and they gave me a price and size,and said they had it,so i might go and get some soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
