Jim, >> difficulty in getting inventory .. yes, the problem was being experienced by US mail order houses. They also claimed OUP was holding them to a very tight pricing policy of no discounts. I was quoted a "best case" two- to three-week delivery period if I ordered. Out of curiosity, what did OUP Toronto charge? The last time I purchased anything through them (an SGML reference book), the price was astronomical (way higher, I later discovered, than I would have paid in the States), and delivery took nearly three months … oh to be Canadian, eh?!
