The URL of the Paleontological Research Institution is http://www.englib.cornell.edu/pri/pri1.html "Molluscan Macrofauna of the Reklaw Formation" is priced at USD 50, plus shipping charges. The catalog of Paleocene and Eocene mollusks from the U.S. Coastal Plain (Palmer and Brann, 1965-66) is in print at USD 25. It is a very useful catalog of species and references, but it contains no descriptions of species, and very few illustrations. The PRI book sale a few years ago was a one-time offer. When I was younger, the U.S. government did not tax the unsold inventories of book publishers, and it was common to find century-old bulletins still in print because potential buyers did not imagine that they were still available, and didn't ask for them. (Of course, the most popular items were generally NOT still in print.) The law changed, and if I understand it correctly, the book stocks were taxed, and suddenly publishers across the land held fantastic sales to reduce their inventories. As a student, I was mostly unable to take advantage of these offers. Now we are lucky if a book stays in print longer than a couple of years. I do not mean to question the government's wisdom in this matter, but I would like to point out that the change made it more difficult for beginning collectors and scholars to find information. Can anyone else shed some light on the law change (I'm not sure that I have the details right)? Andrew K. Rindsberg Geological Survey of Alabama
