Who exactly is the victim (Re: Victimology)
(Stacy Nelson)-Email Address: 22 Nov 1995 14:45 UTC
I noted the responses to the original query about Victimology with
some amusement, because this is a title that I have often used as a
sort of worst-case-serials-scenario when training. While the response
from Ulrich's that volumes 11-13 (triple-issue) are due in April 1996
appears helpful, keep in mind that I have notes in our records dating
back to 1989 which list very specific release dates for volume 11
(etc.), yet the issue(s) have never materialized. Each year they
announce a new due date. The publisher refused years ago to send
refunds for money we paid them almost a decade back for unreleased
volumes, and we have long since stopped sending them money.
While I used to be irritated by the publisher's empty promises, I have
in recent years found their constantly changing release date
announcements to be almost perversely entertaining, and I keep the
record active JUST IN CASE...:-).
