Please - let's not get carried away. "Assasination attempt". Isn't
that a little strong? Back in February I sent a note to John
Fitzgerald at Manchester, asking about the Case Studies book. His
reply stated (and I hope I'm not getting him into trouble here)

  "The book of case studies has been printed but has been delayed
slightly awaiting binding (the blurb on the back cover had to be
re-written)."

   This is the source of my statement, but I do see that my
recollection failed since February - I shouldn't have said reprinted
since it was just an advert that had to be altered. I apologize for
this "assasination attempt". Sheeshh!!!

   On another plane, thanks to everyone who responded to my request
- armed with this information I'll go back to the bookstore and try
to get the book.
