Subject: Automotive Industries--- PUBLICATION SCHEDULE

Dear Mr. Larkin,

We recently received our latest issue of Automotive Industries, and we
noticed a change in the publication schedule. Previously it had been a
monthly publication, with one volume published for the calendar year.
Nothing has been published since April, and now the issue numbered "5"
that we just received has no chronology on it, not even the year. Thus
we have following questions:

* Was this was just a printer's oversight, and this is really a delayed
"May" issue?
* Or, are you not going to use months in the chronology anymore (in any
case, at minimum, the YEAR should be printed on the magazine somewhere!)
*What is the publication pattern of magazine now going to be... how many
issues & volumes per year, and when should we expect them?

We need this information because we check the issues in, and our patrons
need to know when to expect the issues on the shelf.
We also need to be able to accurately set our prediction patterns on the
computer so that any missed issues can be claimed on a timely basis.

I appreciate any assistance that you can provide on this matter.

Respectfully,

Renee Hijleh
