- As previously announced in one of the NeXT Usenet newsgroups, we
- are accepting orders for the Addison-Wesley NeXT documentation set
- at a Usenet group purchase discount price. We already have enough
- orders in hand to be absolutely sure that the deal is going through,
- and we will be ordering the first batch from Addison-Wesley on
- Friday. Follow-up orders are allowed, so don't be concerned if
- you don't read this right away; you'll just get the books later.
-
- There are eight manuals. Five are available now. The other three
- should become available about the end of November. Because most
- people are eager to get the documents, we will ship the sets in two
- parts. The extra shipping expense (which we are paying, not you,
- for U.S. orders) keeps us from providing more than a 15% discount.
-
- All of the books are being issued by Addison-Wesley at prices
- different from those earlier posted to the net, and most,
- unfortunately, are higher. The prices shown below are the
- publisher's correct prices, as of yesterday; it is on these that
- the discount will be based. Because of the overall increase in
- prices, our initial estimate of $204 for the set is not valid. The
- total at list price is $263.60 (with shipping extra) and the total
- group purchase price is $224.06, with shipping included free to U.S.
- destinations.
-
- Purchasers in the State of Washington must add $18.37 sales tax,
- for a total of $242.43.

-
- A few people have expressed an interest in purchasing just a few of
- the titles rather than the whole set. We are offering a 10% discount
- on individual titles, with the same terms.
-
- Anyone whose organization needs at least three complete sets, or needs
- to place a purchase order rather than pay in advance or with a credit
- card, is invited to discuss the situation. We'll try to help.
-
- There should be little if any extra delay by ordering as part of
- our group; the publisher will drop-ship directly to you.
-
- If you're outside the U.S., we can ship at your expense, and you
- will be responsible for any taxes at your end. We have no
- expertise at this and can neither recommend it nor discourage you.
- We'll bill your credit card for actual shipping charges,
- book/airmail, DHL, etc., as you prefer.
-
- You may order by e-mail (which we recommend if you are reasonably
- well-connected), phone, fax, or letter. (Obviously, only letter
- will work if you're paying by check.)
-
- We'll need
- your name,
- shipping address (not a P.O. box), also
- telephone number and
- e-mail address
- (in case we need to discuss something with you). If you're paying
- the convenient way, by Visa or MasterCard, please include the
- expiration date as well as the card number, and, if the name and
- address for the card differ from your own name or shipping address,
- those, also.
-
- Thanks for participating, if you choose to.
- - Irving
