In roughly two to three weeks, assuming everything goes as it ought to, the lojban book will be listed on www.amazon.com. Amazon will contact lojban central during that time to confirm pricing, ISBN#, contact information, discount to amazon, etc. When Lojban Central and Amazon have worked out all this info, then one could order the reference grammer simply by going to the amazon web site at www.amazon.com, searching by title, author or ISBN number, and then ordering At that point, persons with web pages could also provide the following link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0966028309 from their web page. This will link to the amazon order page, which is a secure way to send credit card info if you are using NetScape Navigator 4.0 or the recent version of Microsoft Internet Explorer. In other words, anybody who stumbles upon the lojban web site could order the book with a mouse click, some typing to fill in shipment address and credit card info, another two clicks, and several days later, Cowan's book appears in their mailbox. Other people could also provide links to the lojban book order form on their pages. All this is contingent, of course, on Lojban Central working out the details with www.amazon.com; I let them know that people may want to order the book through amazon, and gave all the contact info for lojban central to them. They should be in touch with Lojban Central sometime soon. -Steven Steven Belknap, M.D. Assistant Professor of Clinical Pharmacology and Medicine University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria
