Subject: [BIRDWG01] Gull book replacement

I wrote to Princeton University Press and asked about the replacement
program. This reply is posted by permission. The web site hasn't been
updated yet; check back later. I assume that purchasers of the European
edition will need to contact Helm.

hope this helps,
