Issues include substantial articles as well as book reviews and occasional surveys of recent publications and guides to relevant sources. Library History , established in 1967 as the journal of the Library History Group of the Library Association , is the only British periodical devoted exclusively to the study of the history of libraries and librarianship. Each issue will contain about 80 pages as before, meaning that there will be a fifty per cent increase in the number of pages produced each year. This will be good news not just to readers but to contributors as well. This expansion reflects the considerable increase in interest being shown to the study of library history in recent years, partly due to the increased attention being paid to all aspects of 'book history' and also the growing number of conferences at which papers on library history are being presented.
Style notes for contributors are available from the editor.
