Did the publisher tell you the book was out of stock,
Eric? I know that's
what Amazon says (my publisher is not all that fond of Amazon and only
begrudgingly does business with them).
No, I am going what I saw at the VCF site about the book. Is this in error?
Are there copies available?
I have copies that I sell directly--$29.95 by M.O. or check or PayPal.
Sellam also sells the book through his website (www.vintage.org).
I believe it was at VCF that stated "out of stock." Let me check again...
hold on...
Clearly in bold at the bottom of page::
http://www.vintage.org/special/collectible.php
it states "Sorry, we are temporarily out of stock!"
The Haddock book cover is yellow, and my book is orange--wouldn't have been
my first choice, but it's grown on me.
Sorry to pick nits. Haddock's book, as good as it is, is dated. I'd love to see
a more
uptodate reference, book cover color aside. :)
Thanks for posting, and let me know how I can get a copy.
Thanks,
Eric

Right and the book is now out of stock!
It seems that the cover color is surprising similar to Dr. Tom Haddock's
book
on computer collecting.
I'd like to get a copy of Nadeau's book nonetheless.
