Good news from Buffalo -- our access to Blackwell titles has been restored.
Meanwhile the original communications announcing the transition (of which
we received many so the word was definitely out) were signed by:
Christopher McKenzie
Vice President and Director of Institutional Sales, Americas
Wiley-Blackwell
I found this email for him: cmckenzi@wiley.com
for those of you who would like to offer some constructive feedback.
