(Sorry if this is a dup or triplicate! I've not received a copy back from the list, though I sent it early this morning.)

Does anyone know of an American source for the following title? I can find nothing on the web other than the publisher's site in London. If I can get it from the US, it would be quicker...

Greek Scripts An illustrated introduction 
edited by Pat Easterling and Carol Handley
New Hellenic Society Occasional Publication 2001

Synopsis
Greek of some form has been written for over 3000 years, painted or scratched on to pottery, cut into stone, written on papyrus, parchment and paper, and eventually printed, first by traditional methods and now by computer technology. Script styles, letter forms, symbols and abbreviations vary according to where and when they were used, and for what purposes- to identify the contents of an amphora or the coinage of a despot, to record the deeds of an emperor or condemn an enemy, to provide Christianity with its liturgical texts, or students of ancient literature with their text-books. This broad range is dealt with in this volume by a group of Cambridge scholars, each expert in a particular area- epigraphy, papyrology, numismatics, palaeography- in order to offer an accessible introduction to the subject to anyone with an interest in Greek.
