CD available

[Al Bregman <bregman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Auditory list members,

I have finally shipped copies of my CD to MIT Press.  They will
be sold both by the Press and myself.  Residents of the USA would
be better off ordering from the Press, since if the shipment
comes from Canada, there is a chance that they may have to pay
duty.  Residents of other countries may find it equally
convenient to order from me, since the duty should be no
different and the response time should be quicker:
