medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Tom's note provoques me to send out this message to US members of this list.
While not a strictly medieval topic, it effects all of us who study the middle ages and
who might like, at some time, to send books overseas. This includes publishers,
anyone who sends books out for review, to their friends, etc. etc. As I discovered when
I wanted to send a box of journals to myself for a research project, the recent
changes in the US Mail service have COMPLETELY DONE AWAY WITH
overseas surface mail. You can still mail your packages at a slightly
lower rate than airmail, but there's no point: this only means surface mail within the US;
when the package reaches the coast, it will be put on plane, at the cost of about $ 36 per ten pounds,
if I remember rightly. It takes about as long as sea-mail used to, but costs 3-5 times as much.
The "book bag" which used to make scholarly life
a bit more affordable for those of us who occasionally migrate across the atlantic no longer exists.
Write to your congressman - the postmaster general -
anyone you can think of!

I have numerous hardcopy issues of Speculum and the Journal of the American Academy of Religion that I'd like to give away. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
