Special Note:  Be SURE To Take The Nickel Test

 


Unfortunately, there are many individuals attempting to make a fast buck at the expense of others.  So, before purchasing a book accompanying an audio book, be sure to take the Nickel Test.  

 

The Nickel Test is very simple.  Take a nickel and run it across the page of a written text in a book a couple of times.  If the book has not been printed, the words and ink will come off on the Nickel.  This book is a shoddy, poor quality text and will not last.  It is virtually the same as burning your money!

One woman has posted on the Love to Learn Place Message Board, "My stepson brought home his math book from school and we were helping him with it and noticed that where his arm had been resting it had transferred to the underside of his arm. "

 

 

Now take your nickel and test the quality of your Bible, recipe book or another book in your home.  If the words and ink will not come off on the nickel, the book has been printed and, most likely, will last another generation of readers.  A REAL book is printed.  This means that the ink is imbedded into the paper.

 

 

So, be SURE to take the Nickel Test !!
