Carole,
Yup, Time Warp!
The original plan was to revise the publication every 10 years, thus 2008.
I agree about WoRMS, and it is global. Plus searches don't work if you have minor typos.
I too much prefer a hard copy of everything.
At home it is nice to sit down with a stack of books and bookmarks digging and comparing.
Not the same with ePubs, even with multiple screens.
What I do like about an ePub - searchability, cut-n-past, and portability.

Thanks Leslie,
I really prefer the ease of a real book, but wonder about accessing the information too. WoRMS is not as easy to use as a book. But unless I am in a time warp, 2008 has passed.
Thanks,
Carole

Hi Carole,
Due 2008
Last time I discussed it with Donna Turgeon … she implied it would probably not be published, but instead was an ongoing live database.
The question then becomes, how to access the database?
Personally, I like having the 2nd Ed CD version available on my computer.

Hi, does anyone have any information on when the 3rd Edition of the American Fisheries Special Publication, Common and Scientific Names of Mollusks might be due for release.
Thanks,
