Hello James Heaney,
Thank you for your information. I tried to give an ordering information for
this specific publication throughout the WERF Website,  but it seems that it is
not yet possible to do in this way ? Is it like so?
I would be very interestet in getting this publication  as soon as possible...
Best  regards Maria Rafaela Matos
