Gary, I just had to delete a $%^&load of posts as I couldn't keep up while in DC. Will you be accumulating and posting final list of the distributors who have gone out of business? We do have some frustration with back titles from PBS, in particular, that don't seem to be available anymore but are being requested by faculty--there was one on Rwanda, for instance. I inquired at NMM last year but they could not turn it up, either.
