The Book Buddy absorbs all the heat from while the durable top keeps the computer from slipping; it's genius.<BR/> <BR/>Here is a link to our site with photos of our products and company info: www.readingcomfort.com <BR/><BR/>If interested, we will send you a sample right away!<BR/> <BR/>Thanks in advance for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/>Mandy<BR/> <BR/>Mandy Blake<BR/>Reading Comfort<BR/>readingcomfort@mail.com<BR/>www.readingcomfort.comMandyhttp://www.readingcomfort.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-28014876224038628822009-04-01T13:53:00.000-04:002009-04-01T13:53:00.000-04:00Hi--I just wanted to say thank you for reviewing m...Hi--<BR/><BR/>I just wanted to say thank you for reviewing my book, The Mechanics of Falling, and also to say how heartening it is to read the comments and see that there are still short story readers out there.
