Volume 8, Issue 1 (1990)

Production of an annual has its cycles. The days after the volume is sent to the publisher are ones of relief and relaxation for the editor, a time to turn to those tasks put aside so the publisher's deadline can be met. Late spring is a time of proofreading—by authors, the editor, the editor's secretary; a constant attempt to catch all errors, ensure all names are correctly spelled, and all citations correct. August sees the issue published; the green and white and black cover with the familiar logo and lettering, the fresh contents neatly printed and bound. Manuscripts arrive all year long, are read, assigned to reviewers, read by reviewers, returned, accepted, rejected. Recommendations for revision are sent to authors, and tentative decisions made about what might be included in the next issue. It is often exhilarating.
