We received a letter from ProQuest stating special softbound advance edition
will be sent free of charge in November 2005.  The final hardbound edition
will be published in the spring of 2006.  I hope it helps.

Our annual cumulations have always been hardbound, but 2004, our newest
receipt, arrived softbound and w/ "2004 Interim" on the cover, but not on
the title page.  If other libraries are also getting this, are you
processing it as *the* annual cum or in some other way?  Thanks in advance.
