>SECOND, John McLaughlin has just completed more than four and half years
>of service as Review Editor of the journal. He led the Reviews Section
>of the Journal with the highest level of professionalism and dedication.
>It is thanks to him that the journal published during this period close
>to 200 reviews. He devoted hundreds of hours to the Journal and
>exemplified the kind of volunteer that makes possible its success. Sure,
>I am glad that he is taking a break, but also that he remains a member
>of the JHS editorial board. I am sure that you, and all readers of the
>journal, would join me and THANK HIM for all his work.
>
>THIRD, since July 1, the journal has a team of REVIEW EDITORS. The basic
>idea is that there is need in the field to increase the number of books
>written in languages other than English that are reviewed in academic
>journals of wide distribution. The new team of reviewers consists of:
>
> * Mark J. Boda - Review Editor for books published in North America
>or anywhere in the English speaking world.
> * Maria-Teresa Ortega Monasterio - Review Editor books published in
>Spanish, whether in Spain or anywhere in the world.
> * Konrad Schmid - Review Editor for books published in
>("continental") Europe in any language except Spanish.
>
>Publishers in the UK and Ireland may send books for review to either
>Mark J. Boda or Konrad Schmid. Publishers of books in Catalan,
>Portuguese, or any other language spoken in the Iberian peninsula may
>send books to Maria-Teresa Ortega Monasterio. Publishers in Asia, Africa
>are encouraged to send books for review to Mark J. Boda, but should they
>wish, they may send books to any of the other review editors.
>
>FOURTH, LOGOS is about to include JHS in its e-library. The suggested
>retail for vols 1-7 is $557.00l the LOGOS sale price is $179.95, but the
>pre-publication special is ONLY $49.95. For info go to:
