Subject: Meeting Announcement

Dear Colleague,

I am writing on behalf of the Organising Committee, to inform you of 
the call for papers for the:

THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE BOOK
Emerson College, Boston, USA, 20-22 October 2006
http://www.Book-Conference.com

The conference will address a range of critically important themes 
relating to the book - including the past, present and future of 
publishing, libraries, literacy and learning in the information society.

Main speakers will include leading thinkers and innovators in the areas 
of publishing, editing, librarianship, printing, authorship and 
information technologies, as well as numerous presentations by 
researchers and practitioners. Publishers, librarians, academics, 
teachers, authors and associated professionals are all welcome to 
attend.

I would particularly like to invite you to respond to the conference 
call for papers. Presenters may choose to submit written papers for 
consideration before or after the conference in the fully refereed 
International Journal of the Book. If you are unable to attend the 
conference in person, virtual registrations are also available which 
allow you to submit a paper for refereeing and possible publication 
in the journal, and give you access to the electronic version of the 
journal.

The deadline for the next round in the call for papers (a title and 
short abstract) is 28 February 2006. Proposals are reviewed within 
four weeks of submission. Full details of the conference, including 
an online call for papers form, are to be found at the conference 
website - http://www.Book-Conference.com

We look forward to receiving your proposals and hope you will be able 
to join us in Boston in October 2006.

Yours Sincerely,

Dr David Emblidge
Department of Writing, Literature and Publishing
Emerson College, Boston, USA
