Plug Plug Plug...

The Center for the Study of Services, who publishes the CHECKBOOK reports
and "Bargains" buying guide, is an *excellent* operation that I heartily
recommend...

BA Consumer's Checkbook: (415) 397-8304   52 Sylvan Way, Oakland 94610-1051
(Center for the Study of Services)   

I don't know the subscription rates offhand, but it's been well worth it.
Bargains is published biannually, and so is the services-study CHECKBOOK
reports (resulting in roughly four quarterly publications).

Give 'em a call.  They close around 2:30 or 3:00, so call earlyish.
