I received a lot of requests from folks who didn't see this list the first time
around, so I'll try to forward the list I received from Rob Richards to the
list. I hope it works...if not, email me & I'll forward it to individuals.

Hello Marcia:

Here is a list that I created for our staff a few weeks ago. This list
omits just a few vendors with whom we don't deal. For the complete lists,
you might want to consult publisher's websites.

I hope this is useful.
