Dear Julio,
I have had a number of postings from members of your math-list
enquiring about the availability of the Crest of the Peacock. A
number have told me that they have been informed that the book is out
of print. I have just received the following message from Penguin.

"The Crest is still in print -- we have 656 copies currently in
stock, which at the current rate of sale will last until the new
edition is published next June (although one wonders what the current
rate of sale might have been had your contacts not been told that the
book is out of print). I've just spoken to our Customer Services
department, and they can't understand why people have been told that
the book is out of print; it is quite clear that we still have stock.
I should tell people to be sure to quote the ISBN (0140125299) when
they place orders."

If there are any further problems please contact Caroline Pretty

Best wishes
George
