Mark Mandel's dissertation on American Sign Language

[George Thompson]

Dr. Mandel's dissertation, PHONOTACTICS AND MORPHOPHONOLOGY IN AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE, is available at better libraries everywhere, which, at the moment, among the libraries in the RLIN network, includes only the library at UC Berkeley, where it was done.  Scandalously, it is not in the collection of the Bobst Library, which in so many other respects has proven to be the benchmark for institutions aspiring to rank among better libraries.  I am requesting a copy this morning.  Mark, your royalty check from UMI will soon be in the mail.
