Okay, all the $37 copies have been sold. Please save me the trouble of writing back to you, by acknowledging in your future orders that the price is $40, shipping included to U.S. destinations. If you wish you'd been in the initial order, next time _act_ instead of contemplating, especially if you're dealing with a known fool like me, who gives good deals to begin with. If the news just didn't reach you in time, pay a few bucks for a decent connection. As I said: >3. Re-orders will necessarily be in smaller quantities, since I'm >not willing to risk getting stuck with 30 copies on the shelf here. >That means a much smaller discount. >The book, as described in comp.sys.next.misc by an early reviewer, >Claude W.

Please be careful doing this; we got two bad credit card numbers (both from a single digit mis-typed), two missing cities, and two bad e-mail addresses among the orders to date. No big deal, but it slows things down and means extra work for both of us. That's the kind of time-waste that forced me to raise the price. Overseas orders are $10 additional. All future orders should preferably be by regular e-mail, not fax, phone, NextMail (unless you're including your fingerprints, voiceprint, or wedding photo), etc. -- Irving_Wolfe@Happy-Man.com Happy Man Corp. 206/463-9399 x101 4410 SW Pt.
