------------------------------- Note ------------------------------------------
 
The following books are in the LINGUIST office, available for review.
Most are books that were announced during 1994, but that no one has
requested yet.  Others are books for which the publishers sent no
announcement.  These are listed by titles only.  (If you are the
author of one of these books, you might want to nudge your
publisher to send us a 15-line book description.)
