submitted by 20 July.
A selection will be made at that time. All correspondence will be answered
and all submissions will be given careful consideration. Please note that
the review editor will be away from 21 June to 15 July, but all
correspondence will be answered promptly before and after that time.

FORMAT GUIDELINES FOR _PMC_ REVIEWS
You can save us a good deal of work by following these guidelines:
Reviews should generally run between 2000 and 3500 words, or about
8-14 ordinary manuscript pages.
Set margins to half-inch left, two-inch right, and set your font
to Courier 10cpi (or any 10cpi, non-proportional font). This is very
important, as it prevents too many characters on a line.
Put a title at the top of the first page, and under it your name,
institutional affiliation, email address, and mailing address.
Center these lines.
Then provide title of reviewed book, author, and all publication
information (place, publisher, date).
Number all paragraphs of your text with bracketed numbers (e.g., [1]). These
bracketed numbers should be margin-released into the left-hand
margin (this will place them at the 0" spot on the line).
Indent (to 1") the first line of each pargraph and all lines of set-
off quotations.
Single-space the document throughout.
Use _this_ for underlining titles, *this* for bold print or
emphasis, %this% for foreign words, and ^this^ for superscript.
Endnotes, if any, should follow MLA format. Do not create or save endnotes
using word-processing commands (they get lost in e-mail). Instead, mark
endnotes in text with ^number^ and then write them as regular text at the
end of the document, again, with their numbers set off like ^this^.
Page references in the text, if any, should not be preceded by p.,
pp., or any other notation; use just the page number itself.
Send your submission to the review editor, not to the _PMC_ offices.
Make sure the e-mail document is not encoded, and that it has
been stripped of all word-processing codes (i.e, saved as ASCII or
DOS text). If sending as an attachment, please label file with your last
name and save the file in ASCII or Word 6 (or below) or WordPerfect 6 (or
below). If in doubt, send as ASCII text.
