We are smaller than most of you, but we are seeing steady, to improving,
numbers over the past several years.  Eighty to 100 sign the book each
month, with an estimated average of 20 who don't.

I think travel costs, plus remote access is probably behind part of your
trend.  I wonder if the "Internet has it all" myth has people forgetting
about book collections?
