Just to let everyone know: John Chambers R book is no longer at pre-order status on Amazon which is a good thing. The only problem is that now it is temporarily out of stock. There must have been many pre-orders so now I'm kicking myself for not having done that. Mark
I just received mine today (had pre-ordered it directly from Springer) -Christos> -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-bounces at r-project.org > [mailto:r-help-bounces at r-project.org] On Behalf Of > markleeds at verizon.net > Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2008 2:27 PM > To: r-help at r-project.org > Subject: [R] john chambers R book > > Just to let everyone know: John Chambers R book is no longer > at pre-order status on Amazon which is a good thing.
