CANADIAN NUMISMATIC BIBLIOGRAPHY DELAYED
Darryl Atchison writes: "Dear Friends: On behalf of the
Canadian Numismatic Bibliography Review Committee I wish
to apologize to those individuals who have already subscribed
to our publication for the lengthy delay in publication.We had originally hoped to have the text finished in time for
Christmas (2003) or soon thereafter. Unfortunately a series of
computer and technical problems that were completely beyond
our control - including one complete hard-drive failure - has
put us about two-three months behind schedule. At present our
proofreaders are still reviewing the manuscript and this process
is going somewhat slower than we had originally envisioned.Having said this, we would like to assure everyone who is
interested in this text - particularly those who have already sent
in pre-paid orders - that we are working as quickly as we can to
publish the results of our ten-year project. Unfortunately, as
everyone connected with this project is a part-time volunteer
(including the authors, proof-readers and technical advisers)
we cannot devote as much time on a day-to-day basis as we
may like and we can only request your further patience and
understanding.Having said all of this, it is our now sincerest hope that we
will have the text finished in time for Easter barring any more
unforeseen difficulties. Should there be any further developments
or delays we will keep you advised.In the meantime, should anyone have any questions or
comments they can contact either Ron Greene at
ragreene at telus.net or myself at atchisondf at hotmail.com
and we will do our best to answer any concerns.Once again, please accept our sincerest apologies for the
delay and any inconvenience that this may have caused."[Anything worth having is worth waiting for. We wish the
project members good luck as they work toward completion.
