Maybe a continued stream of polite, reasonable emails could make a difference. In my opinion, showing understanding for 30.07 signs asking for removal of 30.06 is the best approach.

HPB has thrived for nearly 20 years in Texas without posting 30.06 signs.

I hope the 30.06 signs are removed soon as I look forward to an opportunity to once again patron your stores.

Thank you for your consideration,

totally! Well done and thanks on behalf of all HPB customers.

Some years ago I patronized HPB any time I was visiting in a large Texas city where a HPB store was readily available - and walked out with a lot of books. Haven't been traveling as much and just adding to my brimming library with books at half price didn't seem very important. With the tremendous change in technology, I've been wondering how they have been staying in business or will do so in the future.

Thought about sending an email to the HPB address but decided not to - a waste of time.
