Don't go over the distributor, go over maxim directly.
www.maxim-ic.com -> search for the chip you want -> bottom left "order

I don't understand why this shouldn`t work for you.
As soon as you are starting to talk to people they can tell you to sod

I never got any literature request filled though ;-)
