This from the soon-to-be-released 2nd edition of the Vertical Market Business Directory. The selections are edited to save space. Prices range from $395 to $6500, with support and training varying for the different products. I might take this time to mention the availability of the Solutions Guide series. At this time there are at least two available: Apple Engineering/ Scientific Solutions Guide and the Vertical Market Business Directory. The following is from the revision to the Vertical Market edition. They are listed on the dealer price list and can be ordered through them (unless they happen to stock them normally. ;-) ) Prices are around $4 or 5. Other volumes are planned, I know for certain a music directory is planned. Expect new editions in a couple of months. This information is supplied as a service to the (misplaced) request recently posted on the net. No warrenty is expressed or implied, your mileage may vary. If more information is requested, I'll gather it as time allows. I will try to get more info on other directories and their publication schedule, prices, and post when I've gotten it. Have fun.
