As of a moment ago (9 a.m., Monday, Jan. 8, 2001), the S Programming book by Venables and Ripley was once again selling for 17.98 American dollars at Amazon.com. Alas, I notice that "Mixed Effects Models in S and S-Plus" by Pinheiro and Bates now lists at Amazon for 97.25 American dollars, as opposed to about $70 a little while ago. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

It's like that old joke: A woman goes into a produce store and asks the price of broccoli. The clerk tells her it's 0.89 a pound. She says, ``But down the street it's only 0.49 a pound.'' ``Well, why don't you buy it there?'' the clerk asks. ``They don't have any more in stock,'' she replies. ``Well, when we're out of it, it's 0.49 a pound here, too.'' ______________________________________________________________________ Stuart Luppescu -=-=- University of Chicago $(B:MJ8$HCRF`H~$NIc(B -=-=- s-luppescu at uchicago.edu http://www.consortium-chicago.org/people/sl.html Finger sl70 at musuko.uchicago.edu forPGP Public Key ICQ #21172047 AIM: psycho7070 Newman's Discovery: Your best dreams may not come true; fortunately, neither will your worst dreams.>> Sent on 08-Jan-2001 at 14:16:48 with xfmail-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Amazon says S Programming is out of stock at the publishers and wait for reprinting. The publishers, Springer, say it is in stock. Also Pinheiro and Bates is listed at US$69.95 at the Springer site.
