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?)

YES, I would agree to the posting of book advertisements as long as the

books are relevant to the interests of the list.

But I hate spam telling me about new business opportunities as much as I

hate phone calls during dinner from people who want to tell me about an

amazing new product to make my septic tank run smoothly forever.
