- We are trying to devise a policy on charging a person caught with a mutilated
- book or journal the cost of replacing it. We charge a standard replacement fee
- of $40 for a book and, for now, the cover price of the journal. But, since the
- cover proce, does not begin to cover the cost of replacing or repairing the
- journal we think we should add on a processing fee. Question is, how much.
- Anyone out there do this? What do you charge and why? (Actually book mutilation
- is, to my mind, legitimate grounds for capital punishment but I'll settle for a
- processing fee)
