* ABE books is a listing service, not a business. If you had a problem
with one supplier, and can't resolve it with the supplier, ABE has a way
to register a complaint. In our case, ABE was the source, after a lapse
of decades, of our copy of 'Triumph of the Darwinian Method,' and
several other important books.
