Please Note: We are Behind in Publishing

Readers have not yet received any 1994 issues, because we are still struggling to catch up after the disruption of the move to Texas in 1992. The months and numbers on the issues are four months behind, but will become accurate one day.

The Alkaline Paper Advocate is issued six times a year and has about 450 subscribers. Subscriptions (which include a free pH pen and a list of Useful Addresses) are on a calendar year basis: All start with the first issue of the year, unless otherwise requested, and end on Dec. 31, or after the last issue of the year has appeared. An index for the year is sent out in the first quarter. Individual subscriptions, and uncomplicated subscriptions from institutions, are $35; full-time students $20; others $45. All issues are in print and indexed. Checks should be made out to Abbey Publications, 7105 Geneva Dr., Austin, TX 78723. Master Card/VISA payments are convenient for payments from abroad, but for domestic payments we prefer checks drawn on a U.S. bank.

This is a nonprofit corporation set up to encourage preservation of written records, including the use of lasting materials in their creation. No paid advertisements are accepted, but anything with news value will be printed if there is room for it. News items and information may be sent or called in at any time. Readers are encouraged to copy or circulate issues and parts of issues, and to reprint unsigned articles and news items; but the Editor's permission must be obtained for reprinting lengthy or signed articles.

Indexed selectively in the Abstract Bulletin of the IPST, Paper and Board Abstracts (PIRA International) and Art & Archaeology Technical Abstracts.
