ring binder.

subtract pages on your own, you can because its a 3 ring binder.
3. Inside the front cover is a handy brass millimeter slide gauge and a solar
power calculator.

5. NEW! Video Training on the price book on the web. On our home page, bottom left you'll see
"Training Videos". Here David Geller goes PAGE BY PAGE to train the staff and
the store owner/manager. The price book itself is on the screen while David explains
it all. This way the staff can learn this at their own pace, even it home. One you purchase
the Geller's Blue Book you'll be given the password to access it.
One section is for the owner/manager; another section is a tour of the book, page
by page done by David Geller; and the 3rd section trains the staff how to
successfully sell repairs & custom design and how to handle customers
concerns about price.
