    Hi Cliff,
    Our publishing house 'International University Line' would be very happy
    to publish a set of main works by Ludwig von Bertalanffy. It can be one
    large book or 3-4 volumes. We can do that quickly and with very high
    quality.
    We definitely will need some funding, but I can cut all expenses to
    minimum minimorum so the cybernetic community will have that books.

    Regards
    Igor
