Spring 2002

Circulation F. Dammont

We have shipped to library subscribers a total of 379 copies of the PREPRINTS Vol. 43-1. In this number are included 366 pieces of hard copy and 13 pieces of CD-ROM. All CD-ROM copies to foreign addresses were shipped via USPS AIR MAIL. 111 hard copies to domestic subscribers were shipped from Newark, via UPS. We use UPS to receive delivery confirmation from all multiple copy subscribers and from addresses where we have previously encountered delivery problems. This eliminates most claims.

We have received very few claims for missing hard copy of Vol. 42-2 (Fall 2001.)

We are still honoring claims for missing copies of Vol. 42-1, which, by now, have climbed to a significant number. The problem was caused by unreliable printers.

At the date of this report most subscription accounts were settled for 2002. Pursuing a long tradition, we have also sent the first issue to some of the good-risk, not as yet settled accounts, to whom we will send reminders on May 1.

We are surcharging all foreign hard copy subscribers $50.00/year, to compensate for the sky-rocketing foreign delivery postage charges, who have the option to receive the PREPRINTS in CD-ROM form, sold at one-price-for-all, without surcharge. Surprisingly, domestic delivery charges actually were reduced.

We urge the Secretary of the Division to complete the forms for copy-right application, which, to the best of our recollection, have not been filed with the Library of Congress since at least 1996 (Vol. 37.) and to forward the forms to the circulation office. We will ship the books with the completed and signed forms to Washington.
