[Genealib] Quintin Publications

[janet tomkins]

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,
