No, it was I who said that, in response to David.

Mosby is still in St. Louis, where they've been for a long while. My copy
of Coletta's _College Physics_ 1995, gives the address as

Mosby-Year Book, Inc.
11830 Westline Industrial Drive
St. Louis, Missouri 63146

Its ISBN is 0-8016-7722-X

So far, using it this summer, we've found no serious problems with the
book. We've found one error: Problem 10-9 has incomplete information. It
should give the height of the point of application of forces F and P. Now
*if* one assumes they are the *same* height (as the picture seems to show)
the problem can be solved. However, the answers given in the back are
wrong for that assumption.
