UPDATE I got a call from Cornell Press today (11/7). There's been a publication delay - the new expected date is January.

The Ibis Publications site that provided updates for the "Clements World List" since the 5th edition appeared in 2000 has announced that Cornell Publishing is taking over the publication and update responsibility. Cornell has announced that the 6th edition is to appear this month ($60 plus $5 shipping). I've got a lot of use (entertainment and information) from the 5th edition and have ordered a copy of the new one. Among other things it is (not without some controversy) the "official" list for ABA world listers.
