week. The book is the second edition of the business directory which was first published last year.

The 272-page directory contains telephone, fax and cellular numbers; e-mail and internet addresses; and physical and mailing addresses, presented in book form.

The directory is also on the internet at www.BermudaDirectory.com, where the information updated daily.

"We have been a victim of our own success,'' said Horst Augustinovic of Bermuda Directories Ltd. and Paget Wharton, general manager of Bermuda Press Ltd., a Royal Gazette company, in a written statement. "We didn't realise the value that the local and international business sector held for our publication. As a result, the production of this new book took a great deal longer than we ever anticipated.'' The directory is being distributed later than had been anticpated.

"We have endeavoured to check every detail of each listing and added 40 handsome new advertising pages to this issue, with hundreds of new e-mail and website addresses, as well as a new updated map of Hamilton and much more helpful information,'' said the joint publishers. The directory website has also been redesigned.
