Those analysts willing to buy a copy of the volume should send me an
e-mail, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, providing an address where they can be
contacted in July. They will be sent an order form to be returned with
such details as credit card number, etc. The price of the volume will be
3000 pesetas (roughly 26 dollars, 13 pounds).

If you intend to attend the forthcoming Workshop on relevance theory to
be held in Middlesex next September, you will also be able to buy the
volume there, filling a form or buying a copy if available (there will
be some copies on display). I would be grateful if those intending to
buy the volume there ALSO sent me an e-mail letting me know, so that I
can work out how many copies of the volume I should send to the
Workshop.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Cordially,
-
