Status of Words Into Type, 4th edition

[Thomas Warren <twarren -at- OKWAY -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU>]

     First, please excuse posting to two lists and creating some
     duplication. Readers of both lists are interested in WIT4, hence the
     double posting.

     Last November (I think it was), I sent a revision of WIT to the
     publishers (Prentice Hall). The editor at that time (the book's 5th
     since I was given the contract) wanted more reviews. I would hear in
     January. I recently got a letter from another editor (the book's 6th)
     indicating that that review was not complete. And, as she was new, she
     wanted some time to review the history of the project.

     Status now is, again, wait. She said some months for her review.

     I see another revision coming, so why not use the time to advantage.
     If you have particular comments about WIT3 (other than the dated
     nature of the material on production, etc.), please end them to me off
     the list (e-mail address below). In addition to updating all the
     material, giving it a major edit to make it more friendly (lots of
     second person), and changing many of the examples, I have combined all
     the various glossaries into one large one (comment on that?). There is
     also an extensive bibliography (broadened and updated).

     Again, if you have comments about WIT3 (what to keep, what to change,
     etc.), please send them to me at--

     (Because I will be traveling this week, I will temporarily log off
     both lists. I'll be back on on Monday.)
