DEAR SUN SPOTS: I love your column. I am looking for Reader’s Digest piano books. I’m willing to pay. Please leave a message at 783-4613. Thanks so much. — C.C., Auburn

ANSWER: Sun Spots had never heard of these piano books, but found many places that sell them online, including amazon.com, www.sheetmusicplus.com, www.musicbooksplus.com, www.encoremusic.com, and many more. Readers may also have some sitting around they might be willing to give away.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: What does the A symbol (an A in a circle) mean? It is with the washing instructions on the yarn we buy. — No Name, Greene

ANSWER: It means that the yarn, and whatever you make out of it, can be dry cleaned.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: In the Jan. 14 column, someone was looking for a regular size (1 pound) bean pot. I believe I have that size for her. The set comes with four individual bowls for serving. She did not put a number to call, but if she reads this and is still interested, I may be reached at 784-8388.

I am also looking for some places who want to give some of their boxes away. I am helping out emptying a home and need to pack things. Small and medium boxes that can be closed and taped would be so appreciated. I am 73 and can’t lift big boxes. Please leave name and number, and I will get back to you. Keep up the great services! — No Name, Lewiston
