I'm a member, and when I saw it in their catalog ($27.95 + P/H) I of course
ordered it.  That was on 6/5/87.  The other day I got a card in the mail
from the good folks at MacMillan (LICS) telling me that the BOOK was
"TOS -  Additional stock is expected shortly and your order will be shipped at 
that time."  I received this on or about 6/25/87.  In other words, good price,
but they don't have it in either.  I should have bought it when I saw it at
Krochs & Brentano's the other day instead of being a good little boy and
waiting for the order I had placed with the bookstore to come in.

I know that there is a card in the back of the book to get the software, but
I would like to order it before I get the book (the time will be served
consecutively).  I would appreciate it if someone would mail me the
address and requisite ordering information so I can start the ball rolling
on that one.  I know it's been on the net before, and I even saved it, but
I lost it.
	Thanks,
