I was looking at the new books advertised in the back of my
copy of "Startide Rising", and noticed that David Brin has
two books advertised: "Sundiver" and "Tides of Kithrup". The
odd thing is, "Tides of Kithrup" and "Startide Rising" have
identical numbers except that the latter has a '-1' tacked
on the end. Sounds like "Tides of Kithrup" was the original
title of the book, and Bantam never bothered to change their
advertisements to correspond to the new title (not even in
the book itself). Can anyone confirm this?

P.S. For those of you looking for 'Sundiver', it appears that the
only way to get it is to find it in a used bookstore or order it
yourself direct from Bantam books. B. Dalton in Indianapolis told
me that none of their distributors have it anymore, and Walden
ordered it for me six weeks ago and it hasn't shown up yet (apparently
publishers don't like shipping books to retail outlets unless there
is a big order, so they are waiting until this particular Walden
bookstore orders enough Bantam books to justify shipping). Dalton
CAN'T order from the publisher, and Walden never seems to be very
successful at it.
