THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE BOOK

The conference will address a range of critically important themes relating
to the book - including the past, present and future of publishing,
libraries, literacy and learning in the information society. Main speakers
will include:

professionals are all welcome to attend.
I would particularly like to invite you to respond to the conference call
for papers. Presenters may choose to submit written papers for consideration
before or after the conference in the fully refereed International Journal
of the Book. If you are unable to attend the conference in person, virtual
registrations are also available which allow you to submit a paper for
refereeing and possible publication in the journal, and give you access to
the electronic version of the journal.
The deadline for the final round in the call for papers (a title and short
abstract) is 30 September 2006. Full details of the conference, including an
online call for papers form, are to be found at the conference website -

We look forward to receiving your proposals and hope you will be able to
join us in Boston.
Yours Sincerely,
Dr David Emblidge
