Book reviews are edited by Graeme Hirst. We continue to publish one  or two  reviews in each issue, a smaller number than in the past as fewer books overall are being published in computational linguistics  nowadays.
At the beginning of year 2008, there were four submissions in the Squibs pipeline. In the course of year 2008, 9 additional papers were (re-) submitted. At the end of 2008, there were 2 submissions left in the pipeline. Thus, 11 decisions were made over the year.  


However, a new series of CL books edited by Graeme Hirst recently began publication. In order to avoid a conflict of interest, reviews of these books will be coordinated by our squibs editor, Pierre Isabelle, with Graeme out of the loop.
The results were as follows:
 
  * 1 paper accepted
  * 7 papers rejected
  * 3 invitations to revise
The mean time taken for these decisions was 75 days.
 
Thus far, 5 papers have been (re-) submitted to the Squibs Editor in 2007.
 
Also, I have started to handle some book reviews on behalf of Graeme Hirst, for books published in a series he is editing for Morgan & Claypool.
