Free Copies of Books

DATE:	November 10, 1998

FROM:	G. P. Patil

TO:	Friends and Colleagues

SUBJECT:	Free Copies of Books:
		(1)  Statistical Ecology Series
		(2)  Statistical Distributions in Scientific Work Series

You will be pleased to know that the International Co-operative Publishing
House has decided to give away the remaining stock of the books in the
series before the House retires from publishing and distributing in the
near future.

You are welcome to ask on or before November 25 for any number of free
copies of any number of volumes in the series.  The publisher has indicated
free distribution as long as the supply lasts.  For postage and handling,
however, you are required to send the following:
	for mailing within U.S.:  ($5 U.S.) per copy of each book
	for mailing outside U.S.: ($7 U.S.) per copy of each book
so that your copy will be on your way on December 1 or thereafter.  Give
your mailing address with the needed check 

	made payable to: 	International Cooperative Publishing House

	and mail to:		International Cooperative Publishing House
				P. O. Box 245
				Burtonsville, Maryland 20866-0245.

For your handy use, the information follows in brief on the series and the
individual volumes.  This is an excellent opportunity for some of you to
have a complete personal collection of this wonderful green series that has
helped set the tone of statistical ecology in the twentieth century and/or
blue series that has helped in providing initial focus to the important
subject area of statistical distributions in scientific work.  This is also
a wonderful occasion for giving gift(s) to interested students and
potentially interested younger friends. 

Please feel free to forward this message to friends, colleagues, or members
of your institution and/or professional organization as soon as possible.

With best wishes and best regards.
