Subject: Update on the International Availability of My Book

Author: Ernst A. Heinz

Hi all,

Following up on the bad news about delays in the international
delivery of my book "Scalable Search in Computer Chess", I am
now able to provide some more details on this sad story ... :-(

-----

In response to my request as of yesterday, the publisher Vieweg
Verlag confirmed the initial shipment of book copies to their
international distributor Morgan Kaufmann in the US. Unfortunately,
however, the shipment never reached its destination and was
delared "lost in transit" by the transport service. Currently, the
matter seems to be a sticky insurance case.

-----

Finally, the _good_ news: in order to take care and please
international customers, Morgan Kaufmann and Vieweg Verlag work
on an agreement for immediate remedy.

You might be able to speed up the remedy process by complaining
again with your distributor and with Vieweg's distribution officer
Ruediger Pech <ruediger.pech@bertelsmann.de>.

Good luck and sorry for the inconvenience,

=Ernst=

P.S.
