I am pleased to report that `The Humanities Computing Yearbook 1989-90:
A Comprehensive Guide to Software and other Resources' is published

Oxford University Press (New York) will be publish it shortly in the
United States.

The book, about 720 pp., has contributions from an Advisory Board of 31

I would like to express special thanks to Angela Blackburn and her

Plans are now being made for future volumes, as well as for possible
supplementary collections of essays.
