My first choice would be to buy at a store, unless they just refuse to
carry Pinnacle products (must be servants of the Reckoners). Buying in a
store shows there's demand and will encourage store owners to stock more
-- meaning money for PEG.

Conversely, quite a few retailers resent direct sales from publishers,
even if no discount is offered. If they find out you're ordering direct
even though they stock the material (for example, it's cheaper for you
to buy direct and pay shipping than buy local and pay sales tax), they
may all bent out of shape and refuse to carry PEG products anymore.

All things being equal, if you can get it locally, that's probably the
best way to do it.

see ya,
