bookdealers' addresses (continued)

[Kern Lunde]

Steven,
  Victor Kamkin is still in business.  I, too, had heard that they were
about to have some problems, but they were able to stay in business, but in
a new location.  I really don't have any background on what the particular
circumstances were.  I had a chance to visit their new store last year while
I was on a business trip in the area, and I just ordered some books from
their website about 3 weeks ago (and they showed up only 2-3 days later!).
Their new contact information is:

Victor Kamkin, Inc.
220 Girard Street, Suite I
Gaithersburg, MD  20877
www.kamkin.com
ph. (301) 990-4010
fax (301) 990-4822
email: kamkin at kamkin.com

Regards,
Kern Lunde
