    Book Review Editor's report

TIMELINESS OF PUBLICATION

We are continuing to get most reviews published in a timely manner --
that is, within 12 months of receipt of the book.  This allows six
months for the reviewer (many take less) and five months for journal
production.



MATERIAL REVIEWED

I am continuing to be fairly strict in deciding if a book is to be
reviewed, but try to include all books that are in "core"
computational linguistics, as well as a variety of books from
adjacent and overlapping disciplines that are likely to be useful in
CL.  We do not review technical reports, doctoral theses, conference
proceedings, or workshop proceedings, except if revised for
publication as a book by a recognized publisher.



PRODUCTION MATTERS

I am indebted to Nadia Talent for long hours of reading out loud with
me to check the galleys.
