Leaving quotes aside, I hope that you don't loose interest in  
publications by Left Coast Press.  Delays in publishing can be caused  
by many things, from the AUTHOR, EDITOR, PRINTER, and even SHIPPING,  
not just the publishing press.  Whatever the delay in this situation,  
the people at Left Coast work hard to bring us excellent books in  
Historical Archaeology and archaeology generally.  In my dealings with  
them as a customer and as an editor, I have always found them  
courteous and professional.  The books they publish are excellent.

If you look at a map of the United States, you will undoubtedly  
discover that California is on the viewers left, therefore the "Left  
Coast."

Cheers,
