Re: Palaeontological Association publications sales...



I was shocked to see Stefan Bengtson's posting on paleonet concerning 
the difficulties Juan Carlos has experienced with Blackwells.  I 
responded direct to Juan Carlos as soon as I read his e-mail; I did not 
notice that he had posted his message to paleonet!

Juan Carlos's story is distressing, but it is unfortunate that he did 
not contact any member of the Association Council about this matter.  
Had he done so, it would have been resolved quickly and Juan Carlos 
would have received his publications promptly.

I would like to reiterate Stephan's point that anyone who is having or 
has had difficulties in obtaining publications from Blackwells should 
bring it to the attention of the Association.  If Blackwells are not 
dealing with requests for Association publications in a speedy and 
efficient manner, we very much want to know about it so that we can do 
something about it.
