Writes commenter Daniel: I called and told them I had 100 books in my lobby. They're sending someone over to pick them up next week. Sweet! Again, the information you need: Dex: (877) 243-8339, wait for the auto-bot to finish a short spiel, then press “1.” Phone lines are open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., CST.
