Why did Les raise the six-hour videotape price to $30 for mail orders?
The six-hour videotape price was raised to $30 for mail orders in order to lessen the burden of postage. The increase was made reluctantly, but the tape was still described as a good bargain compared with most other videos, and the material remained available by mail or phone.
Les explains that the price had to go up a little bit, and he hated to do it, but for those ordering the tapes by mail, the cost was raised to $30 for a 6-hour tape in order to lessen the burden of postage. He says that is still a pretty good bargain compared to the costs of most other videos. If someone is interested in all the program material they missed or has just recently tuned in, they can write or call the 800 number. Iris is the secretary, though Les notes that when the 800 number rings it is in their kitchen and callers talk to either him or his wife, with no secretaries, banks, or phones. He also says they will get the tapes and the books, that book number 7 was being picked up from the printer, and that books 1-7 are now available. The books are transcriptions from the 6-hour tapes.
