Pelican cases, revisited...

I am nearly packed for the SF show. I picked up another five Pelican cases from our friends at CaseClub. One more carry on (1510) and four more of the bigger shipping boxes (1620). We now have 8 of the big ones and two carry-ons. This should be a good number for a full booth as half booth worked really well with half the cases. Hope springs eternal.

I know I have ranted about these before, but much is worth repeating. If you are in need of cases, I can not recommend them highly enough. They are *far* better priced than ATA cases, are water *proof* (the 1620s are guaranteed to float in salt water with 150 pounds in them), corrosion and dust proof, unbreakable and come with an lifetime guarantee ("You break it, we replace it. Forever"). Much research led us to CaseClub...not the prettiest web site, but the best prices and a discount if you order multiples. Tell them I sent you...I have, by my rough estimate, sould about two dozen cases for them. I'm hoping to prove to Pelican, et al, that booksellers are an under-recognized market segment.

Also: The stained glass above was made by Suzanne's aunt and, while difficult to discern in this image, is really very lovely. At the floor you can see my new 1850ish guillotine paper cutter.
