Ah yes, the Shepard's to WG&L to ??? saga.

_Litigation of federal civil tax controversies_ used to be published by
Shepard's. It was sold to Thomson with the other "McGraw-Hill" part of
Shepard's last year, and taken over by Warren, Gorham & Lamont. They did
a particularly bad job of letting people know which titles they had
taken, and many of us discovered the switch when an invoice was received
or a claim was re-directed.

But it gets worse. Apparently this is one of the titles that WG&L does
NOT plan to continue. They are trying to sell it to someone else (maybe
Kluwer, since they're not involved with this yet!). Unlike the Shepard's
titles that were taken over and will be cancelled when contents are
rolled into existing WG&L titles.

Isn't this fun?
