I'm sure that David will confirm Cari is a contact at Sams. My feeling is 
    that Sams decided to put me off and chose to lie to me.

I do have other letters from Sams on this and other matters: I prefer not 
    to publish them here.

Those who've followed my postings on other matters or seen my web pages 
    will acknowlege me as an enthusiastic user of OS/2.

I believe that the more good books there are on OS/2 the better off we all
    are because it amounts to favourable publicity for OS/2.

However, the fact remains that I received the above letter from Cari and 
    accepted it in good faith that it meant the book was off.

The fact that David had not heard of my involvement is no surprise as we 
    were still discussing the extent of my involvement: there was, in my 
    mind, no doubt that I would be involved. I would expect Davcid to hear
    about it after we'd agreed the material I was best able to cover.

I have here a copy of the previous edition, consigned by on Rhonda Biddy 
    on Jan 24. I have no doubt someone else can confirm that such a person
    exists and is in a postition to make such a consignment.

Before anyone else calls me a liar, I suggest you ask Cari why I'd think 
    the book was called off.

As far as my sanity is concerned, I THINK I'm sane, but then I've never 
    had occasion to have a sanity-check.
