We have received 13 issues of Business 2.0  so far, I think we are
missing numbers 17 and 18 which would have been the September issues.
The numbers seem to have jumped when it went from a monthly to a
semimonthly, which occurred in June.  Below are is our libraries check in
record.

      From: Laura C Wood <lcwood@EMORY.EDU>
      Subject: Business 2.0

 I am confused about the numeration for this title (ISSN
 1080-2681). Our latest copy received is Oct. 24, 2000, marked vol. 5, no.
 20.  But according to our records, only 15 issues have been published
 so far this year.

 Can anyone tell me when the issue numbers jumped? Or, perhaps
 we are missing issues (though it doesn't seem so from the dates).
 Our copies are at a separate site, so its difficult for me to investigate
 the problem myself.

      Many thanks in advance,
      Laura

There's a note on our order record for this title:  "Looks like v.5:no.8-12
were skipped."  This probably explains the discrepancy.  There's also a
note about not knowing where the numbering will go next!!! Ah, publishers!
