Bruce, The box is about 8" by 10" by 3". It looks like the kind of box you would get maybe a video card in or a sound card. It is a hard cardboard box. It did not fit in our mailbox so the postman brought it to my door. Keeping my fingers crossed that you get it soon. --Best regards, --Rick Alfaro --rick.alfaro@xxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bruce Toews Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 2:19 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: Disappointment Can you describe the box, so I know what to look for?
