Dear Reflectorites

In his post "Re: TE/EC marginalised? #1" on Tue, 20 Jul 1999 06:33:04
+0800 Steve Jones said that:

"Yesterday I checked Amazon.com to see how Berry's books are selling,
and they do not list *any, despite their claim to have over 2.5 million
titles in their catalogue!"

I took this at face value as correct and commented accordingly. However
today while in an idle moment at work I looked up Amazon.com and found
the following books by Professor Berry listed. I suspect the confusion
arose because while he is known universally as Sam, Prof. Berry's
initials are actually R. J. The only two books by a Sam Berry had
nothing to do with the case. Pity that search engines are so literal
and only turn up what we ask for and not what we want!

Anyway, the 7 in print are:

London Number Forty
