[Evergreen-acq] How do you handle substitutions from vendors?

[Jane Sandberg]

Thanks, Kate!  I agree -- this would be a really weird thing for a book
jobber to do of their own volition.  However, this is an optional service
that we have opted into -- we like not having to wait for them to try to
track down a weird out-of-print edition when they have the new one sitting
in their warehouse. :-)
