Abstract
An example is given which clarifies the present situation of the operator norm convergence of Trotter-Kato product formula. It shows that the rate of convergence of the formula with respect to the operator norm obtained in [NZ2] is best possible. It also yields a counter-example of the operator norm convergence of the formula in another case.
