Detect Final Printing 14-

[Super Squirrel]

It is my wish to try and get a copy of every Fifth Edition book you put out. This will be difficult, but possible all the same. So far, I have been lucky because I own the only books to be out of print and not going back to the printer.

Are there any particular books that are currently on or about to go on their final printing?

[Steve Long]

Well, there are two products -- the Resource Kit and UMA -- that are out of print and which we have no plans to reprint at this time. All of our other products remain in print, or are in the process of being reprinted. Many of the products we have in print now will go out of print eventually, simply because we'll have sold all we printed and won't want to print more because rate of sales doesn't justify it, but at the present time I don't believe any of our books are in immediate danger of going out of print.

Will you, as the books go out of print, make pdf's available (in other words give them a minor priority to the pdf conversions you have mentioned before)

[Steve Long]

Not necessarily. We might, but since I don't think we're anywhere close to any other books going out of print, it's a moot point at this stage. It's entirely possible we'll already have a PDF of such a book out in the normal course of business before it would go out of print anyway.
