Paleonet: New Publication Available

Wed May 6 03:38:27 BST 2009

Hi Lindsey -
Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to give member discounts in the
online ordering system - a glitch that's still on our list of things to fix.
I can send you a proforma invoice to pay on, with your member discount. One
copy?
Paula
