Hi All,

Here is a response regarding the status of LSA. After sending my message to 
the list, I also received this letter notifying us of the death of the 
owner, Mr. Boussac. Our library decided to cancel all our outstanding 
orders with LSA and try a new (to us) supplier of French materials, Aux 
Amateurs de Livres.
