----------------------------Original message---------------------------- To the Many People who Enquired, Re: Times World Map & Database Just to keep everyone informed. All those who asked for it should by now have had a leaflet about this product. In case anyone has decided to buy it, we finished testing the beta product 10 days ago and the package is now being manufactured (duplicating the disks, printing the boxes, etc). Stocks should reach the warehouse at Harper Collins HQ in Glasgow, Scotland in about a weeks time. Despatch of orders will begin immediately. The warehouse are normally good at meeting orders within a day or two of receipt. On a slightly different note we are interested in having the product reviewed as widely as possible. I think we have the UK quite well covered with e.g. Mapping Awareness, GIS Europe, Geographical Magazine, Windows User, etc. However, we do not currently have much international coverage, so if you are a reviewer for a major journal/magazine covering either the educational, home computing or cartographic areas and would like to be considered for a review copy, please contact me. It would be helpfull if you could say why you think it would be in our interests to have the product reviewed in the publication. I am sure you appreciate that review copies are scarce (being free) so I can make no promises, but I will forward all requests to the marketing department. best wishes Tim Rideout Bartholomew 12 Duncan Street, Edinburgh, EH9 1TA, Scotland, Europe.
