First my apologies to all those who emailed me directly about ISO 9000
and didn't get a response. Most of you were asking about ISO reference
books to help you with ISO documentation. Unfortunately, the books that
I had ordered -- in February -- didn't arrive. The book store finally
discovered that the phone number they had was incorrect - it was a
private number. Rather than give you incorrect information I waited
until I had the right information to pass along to all of you.
These ISO books are written by J. Kanholm - published by AQA Co. [334

ISO 9000 Explained - $49.00

The only book I've actually looked at (and not in depth) was the ISO
9000 Quality Manual with sample procedures. This is the book I had been
waiting for all this time. This book came highly recommended by a friend
who's company is ISO certified. She calls it her ISO Bible.
I hope this helps those of you who have ISO concerns. Please accept my
apologies for the delay in responding to your inquiries. To those of you
who have additional enquiries I will be responding to each of you
individually.
I continue to see ISO enquiries on this list - so I thought it would be
better to post this reply to the list.
