Bart, 

You can NOW order this volume thru your local independent bookstore. 
And anyone else reading my email can also (if they choose) order the 
volume thru their local bookstore.

But some readers actually do prefer to order from Amazon.com or 
BarnesandNoble.com especially if they reside in a country outside the 
USA.
