Book Review Editor's report
Graeme Hirst

BOOK REVIEWS PUBLISHED

We continue to publish about five book reviews plus a couple of brief
notices in each issue of Computational Linguistics. 

Most reviews are published in a timely manner -- that is, within 12
months of receipt of the book.  This allows six months for the
reviewer (some take less) and five months for journal production.


MATERIAL REVIEWED

I am continuing to be fairly strict in deciding if a book is to be
reviewed, but try to include all books that are in "core"
computational linguistics, as well as a variety of books from
adjacent and overlapping disciplines that are likely to be useful in
CL.  We do not review technical reports, doctoral theses, conference
proceedings, or workshop proceedings, except if revised for
publication as a book by a recognized publisher.


PRODUCTION MATTERS

I am indebted to Nadia Talent for long hours of reading out loud with
me to check the galleys.
