Dear REED-L-ers, This is the first message I've tried to send you from the new system, so I hope it works. A few news items --- The long-awaited 1990 REED Newsletter, containing the bibliography issues (this year by Mary Blackstone) is finally ready! The delay has been caused primarily by re-organisation and up-grading of our production system in-house: we think the results will have been worth waiting for. Both issues will be sent out together soon. The Lancashire volume (lots of piping and rushbearing and other nifty REED activities, but no witches) is in production and should be sent to press some time this year (1991). Many REEDers are going to be at the Mediaeval Institute at Kalamazoo Michigan next week -- I hope any one from this list who is there will please encourage others to join: I think we still have not reached the proper critical mass for discussion-generation! [For the benefit of British readers: Yes, there really is a town in the USA called Kalamazoo and there really is an annual scholarly conference there on mediaeval and renaissance topics] That's all for now: hope you all have happy and productive summers (I'm beginning mine by moving!) Abigail
