[nabs-l] book requests from publishers

[David Andrews]

I don't know what the "legal" stance would be, it may depend on your 
state law -- but it doesn't seem unreasonable.  You wouldn't go to a 
restaurant and expect to eat for free.  The publisher should get 
something for providing you with the files.
