Aha!  Yup, on page 764 in the new one!  Now to find these back issues. 
Hopefully the U of I library gets some of these!  But it also looks 
like these are all available online with a subscription to the Talking
Newspaper Association of the United Kingdom.

I checked at amazon.co.uk a while back and saw that the release date
was in early April (I forget the exact date), so I had my computer set
up to remind me when that date rolled around.  I went in and placed
an order that same day and got it about five days later.

I was pretty impressed with the turn-around time, especially since
I had other stuff in my order that isn't available here in the US.

Thanks!  I discovered the search link yesterday, but I kept getting Web
server errors and discounted it.  I've revisited it and it's definitely
a useful tool!

One other question...  Could anyone who has used the RHS Colour Chart
contact me off-list?  I have some questions...

Chris
