The form the publisher has online is not for electronic forms of texts. If you need the e-text of one of their books, you must
contact the acquisitions editor for that particular book. I called the toll-free number and asked for customer service who, in
turn, gave me the name, email address, and extension of the editor I needed to contact. I have not had a response yet, since I
made the inquiry today (Nov. 19, 2002), but I will keep you all updated.
