Dear Everybody,

There are some indications that the 5 volume set 
is not yet published.

The Company's website does list ISBNs for each 
of the volumes and does list each volume's contents,
but does not show a publication date.

Another indication that they're a bit behind is 
that their website encourages people to visit them 
at their booth at ALA Midwinter --- last Midwinter.

The URL for their contact page is:
http://www.bestbooksfor.com/contact.htm

The URL for the page that discusses this title is:
http://www.bestbooksfor.com/bbfal_main_cle_contents.htm

I also checked Amazon and this edition is not 
listed, which by itself is not definitive, but does
seem to add some uncertainty about the availability 
of this product.

You may want to use the information on their 
contact page to question them directly.

Kind regards,
Grace-Ellen

I was wondering if anyone has seen this five volume set that is supposed 
to be geared for smaller colleges and community colleges. If so, I'd 
appreciate any feedback, as I am interested in purchasing
this set.

Thanks very much.
