Good news from DARE! Volume VI has just shipped from the Harvard University Press warehouse to bookstores across the country. It should be available near you in the next few days. But if volumes of DARE are on your holiday giving list (or on your own wish list), why not avail yourself of a coupon for 20% off any of the six volumes? You can find it here:<br>

<br>
on the last page of the current issue of the DARE Newsletter.<br>
<br>
Volume VI has hundreds of contrastive maps (so you can see, for instance, the distributions of hero, hoagie, grinder, sub, torpedo, and Cuban all in one place); "social" maps showing contrasts by age, sex, race, education and community type; the full index to regional, usage, and etymological labels in the five volumes of text; the DARE Questionnaire; and all of the responses to 430 of the questions asked during the original fieldwork. It's a great teaching tool and a fun book to browse.<br>
<br>
Happy Holidays!<br>
