Hello everyone:

We ordered the set and have received all 5 volumes of the College 
Library Edition and the
CD Roms. We ordered it directly from Best Books Inc. P.O. Box 893520 
Temecula, CA
92589-3520.  We placed the order in March and received the books April 
of this year.
 Just an FYI.

Thanks,
Sheryl

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.
