Sure--if this is a show-stopper.  Is that the consensus?  Xlibris has not 
cashed the check, as Ray points out, so we could shift back to 
Omnipress.  The down side there, though, is

--higher upfront investment for TEI ($16,190 if we print 500 sets, which 
seems like the smallest run we should contemplate)

--we are responsible for shipping and handling.

Upsides:

--they look like the old ones, and we know what that is
--cost to the end user might be lower (Omnipress charges us $33/set, if we 
print 500).

We need to make this decision quickly, and I would like to hear from the 
Board and the Council.  Please email me directly (jmu2m at virginia.edu) and I 
will report--if you reply to this mail, your reply may bounce, as the mail 
is going to two lists, and only a few of us are on (and therefore permitted 
to post to) both.
