Dear Stan, The AKL ist still distributed by K.G.Saur directly with invoices in Euros. Only in extreme cases they would bill in US $ (whatever extreme means). The other distributor is Harrassowitz. Early next year Gale will take over the distribution and will be able to invoice customers in U.S. Dollars. The Gale distribution manager is Drew Kalasky (ext. 1606). This year we paid 210 Euros per volume, the price often depends on the exchange rate. Unfortunately, Mary Marshall resigned from K.G.Saur around 2 years ago. She was very helpful with this publisher and publication. I hope that this information helps. Please let me know if you or other ARLIS members have any more questions concerning this publication. I could call K.G.Saur and get more information. Best regards, Ursula Kolmstetter Ursula Kolmstetter Head Librarian, Stout Library Indianapolis Museum of Art 4000 Michigan Road Indianapolis, IN 46208-3326 USA Tel.: 317-920-2662, ext. 225 Fax: 317-926-8931 e-mail: [log in to unmask] >>> Stan Shiebert <[log in to unmask]> 10/29/02 04:53PM >>> Can anyone let me know if there is still a U.S. distributor for the Allgemeines Kunstlerlexikon? The K.G. Saur North America office in Dayton, Ohio seems to have closed. Do they still have an office in the U.S. since the takeover by Gale? Two years ago I got a quote from Mary Marshall from Saur, offering a pretty good discount, but unfortunately we weren't ready to purchase. I have seen the German web site with prices in Euros.
