   It seems that you are still experiencing the cut-off problem.   
      
    :(   
      
   Anyway..  As a bookshop owner, I hate seasonal titles. I'm     
   always left with unsold Christmas/Easter/Valentines/Halloween-    
   themed books for kids.  I just round up the left overs and     
   store them for the next time the season rolls around.
