Corrections and Clarifications

• In the Useful Addresses list, which comes with the Abbey Newsletter subscription, the telephone number of the Society of American Archivists is wrong. It should be (312) 922-0140.
• In the announcement for the quarterly series of English videos on living bookbinders, on p. 68 in AN Issue #4, the address was omitted. The price of a subscription is £120, or about $222 per year. Payment in U.S. or Canadian dollars is acceptable. If you want just one, it is £35 or $65. It may be necessary to have the videos converted to the North American system so they will run on American videocassette players; inquire first, if this matters to you. Checks should be made payable to Binder Vision, Sort Code 20 76 55, and sent to Binder Vision, 62 Bayham Rd., Sevenoaks, Kent TN13 3XD, United Kingdom.
• R. Suzette Ungvarsky, of the International Book Bank (608-L Folcroft St., Baltimore, MD 21224) , commented on the coverage in the November issue:

  We are delighted with the publicity but would like to bring to your attention an error. IBB books are sent overseas in sea containers which hold approximately 20,000 books. Occasionally, we ship in lesser quantities, but we have a 1,000 book minimum.
