Hi Charles.


 BS>> Actually, I was reporting what the company purchasing lady told
 BS>> me. It turns out that the reason she couldn't buy it from Amazon
 BS>> UK or Amazon Germany is that they were out of stock as well. :-(

 CA> I based my replies to you on what you had posted here. If you
 CA> mislead all of us who is to blame for that?

I didn't see anyone ther than you apparently mislead by what Bob wrote.

 BS>> If the book is available, everyone wins - the client's cost is
 BS>> minimized and I have to spend less time doing non-programming
 BS>> (i.e. non-fun) tasks. If I were able to arrange republication
 BS>> rights, there is no difference to the client, they will have to
 BS>> spend the same money whoever they buy the book from. The only
 BS>> economic impact is that I will make considerably less money, both
 BS>> gross and net, than if I were to do as you suggest and write the
 BS>> whole document from scratch without referencing the book.

 CA> YOU came here saying the book wasn't available and now you say it
 CA> is and give me a lecture about how much it will help. I think you
 CA> are confused or just looking for people to annoy.

I think you are confused, he wants copies to give to his clients
it seemed fairly clear to everyone else.

 CA> You removed what I was replying to, it was the second time being
 CA> American was brought into question in the same message by the same
 CA> person.

"being", "buying"  close enough, you suggested it made
some sort of
difference but refused to explain how....
