Hi Mykie,

Yes, D&B did make an error last year.  The copyright 2002 is actually
2001/2002 in spite of what the cover says.  We found this out earlier this
semester when we thought we were missing an issue.  I called D&B and
found out it was a cover error.  Since we always bind our copies, it means
I'll have to re-bind last year's with the correct information . . .

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Betsy

We just received the most recent edition of this with 2003 as the
copyright. The cover, however, says 2002/2003. Our previous edition
with 2002 as the copyright also has 2002/2003 on the cover. The inside
information is different in each edition. Did D&B goof? Just checking...

Thanks,
Mykie
