I would like to purchase a copy of LNCS, volume 173,
entitled "Semantics of Data Types" (Springer-Verlag).
However, I have been told that the volume is out of
print and no reprint date has been set.  Does anyone
have a copy they would be willing to sell me?  Thanks.

Me too!  This book contains a paper I would like very much to read (Hook,
"Understanding Russell"), and I was highly ausgepissed to find out that
it's out of print.  I echo Mr. Volpano's plea--or, if this paper was published
elsewhere, a pointer would be greatly appreciated.

This seemed like a good time to mention my favorite bookstore, Computer
Literacy in San Jose. They have the largest selection of technical
books of any store in the world (on the order of 14,000 titles, almost
all computer science), and will also try to find any book you want if
they don't have it in stock (they're real good at this). They also
deliver anywhere. I have a friend who works there, and she checked for
me that they do in fact have the book you're looking for in stock.

So, call them at 408-435-1118 if you want to get a copy of it. That's
the main number for their San Jose store (they also have stores in
Sunnyvale and Santa Clara), which might not be where you need to talk
to, but they will get you started.

Happy hunting.
