It's an issue to bring up with the editors at FPA.

Ed;

We had a computer book store named Computer Literacy, here in Silicon Valley. They were the largest source of computer books for professionals in the valley with an outstanding selection. They even cattied "Hackers Guide", etc. They carried Visual FoxPro Advisor at there three stores. Then two stores, one and now none! A sign of the times and Barnes and Nobel keeps churning along.

By the way I have ordered a number of computer books during the last 6 years from B&N and have never had one arrive at either of the two stores in my area. Trying to fill customers orders is a joke. Better to find another source like I did.

Things are not too good in Silicon Valley! Business is bad and service is worse!
