Subjects treated include - but are not limited to - publishing, the book trade, readership studies, censorship, the book arts, bibliography, libraries, archives and individual MSS. Articles and book reviews form the journal's principal content, but it has also published original documents, bibliographies and literature surveys. Proposals for other forms of contribution are welcome.

General Conditions for the Submission of Material

English is the preferred language for contributions, but material in Russian, German and French will also be considered. If the Editor decides that translation into English is required in order to make the material suitable for publication, this will be undertaken in consultation with the author.

Second and subsequent references to the same work should be by author's surname, or short title, and the number of the first reference, e.g.:

'Op. cit.', 'loc. cit.', 'ibid.', and their equivalents in other languages, should not be used.

In a bibliographical listing (as distinct from footnotes), if the author's name is the first element in the entry, the surname precedes the forename or initials as an aid to alphabetisation, e.g.:

Zalevskii, V. & E. Gollerbakh, Rasprostranenie russkoi pechati v mire: 1918-1939 gg. (Spb., 1998).
