I just figured up how much it would cost me to buy a new set versus
continuing the updates. I am sure you know where I am going here. It costs
less for a new set then to update it (based on the yearly price of updates).
This set may go the same way as AmJur and CJS - we buy a new set only every
three years and then in a staggered order so we don't incur all the cost at
once.

Subject: West's 4th Practice Digest
Does anyone know why West decided to reissue all of the volumes on Civil
Rights, (namely vols. 12B throught 18A) from their West's Federal Practice
Digest set? This 'hit" is going to cost me over $1800.
Has West lost any sense of personal responsibity toward their customers? Do
they not understand that small entities with limited budgets cannot absorb
unexpected expenditures such as this. I would try to understand if these
volumes were decades old and all of them had stand alone pocket parts - but
they don't.
Of these volumes:
2 had - 1997 copyright dates, (Vol. 14 and 14a with year 2002 stand alone
supplements containing 527-616 pages;
2 had - 1999 dates (vol. 18 and 18A with 2002 pocket parts of 111-181
pages);
13 had - 2001 dates with 2002 pocket parts totaling anywhere from low of 19
pages to high of 156 pages {most are under 100 pages};
3 vols. had - 2002 dates (12b, 12c and 13) with 2002 pocket parts of 5 to 8
pages.
I sent back the 2003 pocket parts, but I was trying hard to show some
loyalty to this set and not cancel thecomplete set outright. Looks like
loyalty was not good enough for West.
