I trust you, Art, but I just want to know where you got this figure?
I've heard it before from several people.

If you go through the MBS or AMICA directories you only find about 25
or so listed.  I know a registry was asked for in the back of your
book, and wonder if you got that many forms returned, or is this number
based on book sales?

When people see my Violano one of the questions they ask is, "How many
are left?"  I answer, "Perhaps 1000."  They then ask how I know and
that's where I'm stumped.
