The issue, when available, will cost $7.00 plus $2.00 shipping.

Well, that's better than what I got back from Dr. Birch, the journal's editor, which is, as of this evening, nada.
I am having trouble piecing together the data. Dr. P says the print edition appeared "less than two weeks ago" (as of May 31, 2009)--so, say, May 20, 2009--but Dr. Huff has stated that there was a problem with the printing of the issue, and that you should check back with him in two weeks (as of June 01, 2009)---so, say, check back June 17, or so.
I'm at a loss as to how a printed edition of the journal can both (1) appear on or around May 20 and, at the same time, (2) encounter a printing problem that requires you to check back on June 17 for further update, apparently to see if the printing problem has been resolved.
If Dr. Huff is correct about the printing problem, it seems very hard to believe that the actual printing of the issue occurred back in the latter part of May. After all, Huff has stated on the first day of June that there was a printing problem that prevents you from purchasing the relevant journal at this time. In other words, the journal was just not available when you queried, due to a printing problem.
I know, I know. Dr. P was merely making a recommendation. Like a recommended book, or something. Well, it's one thing to announce a book that will be published shortly and another to recommend a journal article that may or may not have (depending upon who your source is) been published recently. Or, not have been published.
Who knows, at this point? I'm sure it's in the can, so to speak. But, hey, I've got some article from 2005 that may or may not have been published in some journal. I don't want your comments on it. I'm just making a recommendation. Find it if you can. Go!
