Mike--

The Amazon link from the ICDRI site says:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1904151000/
ref=ase_theinternatce-20/102-7290419-6486525?v=glance&s=books

"Availability: This title usually ships within 3 to 5 weeks. Please
note that special order titles occasionally go out of print, or
publishers run out of stock. These hard-to-find titles are not
discounted and are subject to an additional charge of $1.99 per book
due to the extra cost of ordering them. We will notify you within 2-3
weeks if we have trouble obtaining this title"

Until Amazon has it in "normal stock," I can't really recommend it to
my students without them freaking out and asking me questions about
why it will take 3-5 weeks plus additional charge to get the book.

If the book is available, then perhaps you have better information
than what Amazon thinks -- but even still, with this Amazon notice,
I will still get a number of questions.

It is entirely my desire to move to the Glasshaus book for the
class -- and I would have for last class and this one too if not for
the Glasshaus implosion -- but until Amazon thinks it's available
reliably, I can't in good conscience require this for my students.

PS: This is posted publicly -- as was Mike's original message --
so that anyone who has questions about the textbook policy
for the D201 class can be aware of why I've made the decision
I've made. For each week in class, I post two reading
assignments: One from the Glasshaus book, and one from the
Paciello book.
