Be aware that Prentice-Hall is not the swiftest of all publishers in
responding to orders.  To be specific: I ordered a copy in
mid-January.  About mid-March I went back to the bookstore through
which I ordered it.  The clerk was about to check their paperwork on
the order until I mentioned the publisher's name.  At that point he
stopped, chuckled, and suggested that I might as well just be a bit
more patient.  The book has yet to arrive.
