Thank you to all of you who helped me to solve this little mystery sandwich.  I told the dean about this this morning and he was confused about why the publisher would only publish some issues in print and some online.  I am confused, too.  I guess, in some ways, it is cheaper to publish online, because you don't have to spend money to mail the issues, but then there is server maintenance and staff time, etc.  Oh well, at least they are publishing it somehow.

Thank you again.

We also had a problem with this title.  After I tried to claim the print version, I was told by the publisher/EBSCO that no. 2 was published online only.  If you look in the publisher box statement found in the first couple of pages, it explains that several issues are printed online only.  I also believe the latest issue stated that no. 6 is published online only as well.

Subject: [SERIALST] Sales and Marketing Management

Hello.  We were getting ready to send the 2009 issues of Sales and 
Marketing Management (ISSN 0163-7517) to the bindery when we noticed we 
do not have an issue #2.  According to ebsconet, no issue #2 was 
published.  I also checked our full text sources, including Proquest 
Research Library, but there is no issue #2.  I can't figure anything out 
by looking at the publisher's website, as there is no list of issues or 
archives.  How are you all handling this volume of this title?

Thank you.
