Subject: Re: Seeking permission to post book announcements (fwd)

I have little to add to Wayne's comments below, but I would very much
like to see announcements of a small, select number of relevant new
publications. Perhaps more that than those of you Stateside, I have a
problem finding out about new books in English. At the same time, I
have (along the rest of you) seen the kind of commercial junk that finds
its way into our mail boxes because of subscribing to these lists. I
can say that, in the case in question, the book is from Benjamins and I
didn't know about it already, and was interested in hearing about it, so
if someone is tabbing the votes, I vote "yea". (Is that spelled write?)
