   I have just been told by a representative of Cambridge University
   Press that the _entire_ printing of `ML for the Working Programmer'
   has been "frozen" indefinitely (i.e. they're not shipping and they
   don't know why or when they'll ship again). Does anyone know why or for 
   how long they'll be unavailable? I was planning on using it for one of
   my texts this term; can anyone suggest a bookstore that might have
   a few copies and be willing to ship? Thanks.

Well, I read this and contacted a friend in the STM group of CUP in
Cambridge, puzzled; like several people on this newsgroup, I had some
involvement in the production of Paulson, and had heard nothing. This
is the reply:

So there you go. From the horse's mouth, as it were. You shouldn't
have any trouble getting hold of the hardcover (or the paperback if
you're in the UK). If you do have any difficulties, contact me and I
can make further enquiries (with the CUP people in NY, for instance).
