Dear Mr. Gad,
Many thanks for your message and the clari-/recti-fication in it.
Actually, I myself, too, reckoned with the first N standing
for 'National', but in that case there would be the problem that to my
knowledge a regular ISBN should consist of 10 numerals,
whereas '3669/2006' contains only 8 numerals (o.k., + one diagonal dash).
Hence, I reckoned with the possibility that in 'NSBN'
a simple typo was involved.
Anyway, I hope that potential customers worldwide now have enough of
information for ordering a copy of Ms. Salem's
volume (BTW: I do have Ms. Salem's e-mail address; thank you!).
In the meantime you should have seen my previous mail to you. Earlier today
I tried again to contact Mr. Koch by phone,
failed to reach him, but the day is not yet over, so.....
Best wishes,
K.A. Worp

Subject: Re: [PAPY] New publication:
Thank you , Prof. Worp, for directing the lis's attention to this new
publication ,but let me , in account of the generisoty of the author that
has extended to me too , to remove your doubt about the NSBN.
I can see that there is no typo since the NSBN is the
National Standard Book Number and it is as you stated : 977-5471-48-6 .
The (Inernational) ISBN , however, is just beneath the NSBN ; it is :
3669/2006.
I think any other inquiries concerning this new publication
should be directed to the author herself on her email :[EMAIL PROTECTED]
