Since the last issue of the CNL book sales have significantly increased at the UCO and we have also considerably enlarged our catalogue. Following a recent visit to the Frankfurt bookfair I will be able to offer books from many other publishers as of next year. I am in the process of setting up the system to make both the purchasing and selling procedure as straight-forward as possible. Books from McGraw Hill, SpringerVerlag, Butterworth Heinemann, Pitman Press, etc. will be made available.
I encourage users to contact either the UCO or myself directly should they have knowledge of titles that could be useful to the user community.
