I have no strong feelings one way or the other.  It certainly would be
easier for a member ordering things to get them all from one person, BUT,
having handled the book store myself, I know its a PITA.  I wouldn't have
been willing to take on the storage., ordering shipping, etc. for any more
items.

I don't believe _any_ T-shirts or pins have been sold mail-order, and
_certainly_  I have never sold any mail order, nor would I want to.  I have
a small quantity for the sole purpose of bring them _with_ me to set up an
AGA table at various functions I attend.  I sell them, in person only,
directly from the table.  I think it has been a nice addition to the AGA
table, rather than simply having a poster and brochures, but if the
decision is made not to do this, it's one less thing for me to pack.
(incidentally, Dorothy does the same thing with back issues, too.  I don't
have any of that stock, however)
