As explained in an earlier posting by the AUUGN editor there was a problem
at the printers.

However regarding the PH book offer, I'd ignore the date.  It is part of an
ongoing discussion (argument?) we are having with them.  The original offer
put AUUG was 20% off all computing titles, however every time I have asked
(as an AUUG member) they claim it is only 20% of the reviews titles.  However
further pushing seems to get the discount on everything I have bought.

The expiry date itself is also a new feature, because Prentice Hall are
concerned about people using old coupons after the price has changed (usually
up).  They also picked the date a bit arbitrarily, i.e. "When are you going
to publish it?  Okay it will run to the end of that month."

From AUUG's and the AUUGN editor's point of view Prentice Hall are being
very difficult (and probably from Prentice Hall's viewpoint AUUG is being
difficult), but if you push them a bit you should get the discount.
