Does  anyone have information or insight concerning Quintin  Publications
(http://www.quintinpublications.com/)

I was recently  advised by our Acquisitions Department that a number of
publications I had  ordered from them were unavailable.

I e-mailed the company to inquire  and received a very unsatisfactory reply
stating that "you seem to be  ordering from an old catalog."  When I replied
to say that I had  ordered based on information currently appearing on their
website (as I had  explained in my original message), I received no further
response.

I  just spot-checked again and one item we have failed to get -- 1870
Manitoba  Census - is still listed on their website as being "In Stock."

We've  wasted quite a bit of time on these orders and I'm inclined to
abandon my  attempts to acquire these publications and to avoid this
publisher in  future . . . or am I being too hasty?

Thanks,
