Professor Luis Bonilla of Rubio, Venezuela, has graciously offered to translate into Spanish, and distribute within his country at his own expense, excerpts from our Bulletin and Newsletter . In this way he hopes to inspire his colleagues to actively seek out and perpetuate string figure knowledge. We are currently seeking volunteers willing to translate our brochure and World Wide Web page into other languages. Our brochure is free upon request. This rare, 192-page monograph is considered by many to be the definitive work on string figures of northern Alaska and the western Canadian Arctic.
Illustrations consist of highly accurate drawings of the finished patterns mounted on cards.
As mentioned earlier, we now accept Visa and Mastercard in addition to checks and money orders. If you wish to contribute an article please do so no later than June 1 . This year we go to press August 1, leaving only 2 months for the editors to test all string figure methods, request revisions, and obtain page proof approval from the authors. If you are preparing your own illustrations please follow the guidelines found on the last page of our Bulletin. Several articles have already been submitted or are currently being written.
