Ivan, i personally think your money is very safe, but, if you are worried enough to start a thread, then i would suggest simply using a different book.
Why would you consider posting-up with a shop you are nervous about, when there are many that you can use that you don't need to be concerned?
Makes no sense to me, if you have any concern at all, just move on.
Pinnacle-Hollywood-RIO etc., etc..
Pretty simple..
