V Puti workbook

[Michael Denner]

The mistake seems to be widespread.

I talked to two reps, and my bookstore manager talked to another. They all say: It's out of stock, no reprint date known.

Here's what it says on Pearson's own website:

To answer Michael Denner's inquiry, the workbook should be in print,
the information he received must be a mistake of some kind.  If you have any problems, please contact Rachel McCoy Sr. Acquisitions Editor, World Languages Division 212-641-6635 NY 201-236-7825 NJ, [rachel.mccoy at pearson.com]

Dear Colleagues,
Anyone out there know anything about the workbook for ÷ ÐÕÔÉ? My bookstore called to tell me that the workbook is unavailable, and there's no reprint date offered by the publisher (Prentice).

I called the publisher's rep, and he had no clue.

How is it that every few years one of my textbooks suddenly goes out of print? I dropped _Live from Moscow_ after repeated failures on its publisher's part.

I don't get it... is it so hard for publishers to keep track of inventory? I can't but help to feel insulted -- after committing scores of hours to developing a curriculum around a particular textbook, sending them hundreds student-customers... and, right at the start of the year, they cannot provide me with a key element of the material.
