Additional Comments:

The Entertainment book is book of coupons, which is about one inch thick including several hundred coupons. Most of the coupons are Buy-1-get-1-free offers ranging in value from $5 to $25. They include local restaurants, golf discounts, movies, plays, recreational activities, automotive services, etc. These books are a tremendous value and pay for themselves with the use of just 2 or 3 coupons. The coupons are generally valid for about 13 months. There are over 160 different editions of the books available for cities/regions throughout the U.S. The Entertainment Corporation is very easy to deal with. The books are mailed to you along with signs, promotional materials and other helpful ideas. You mail your money in monthly as books are sold and then in January, you simply close out your account by returning any unsold books and final receipts.
