Dear Buddy,

         Our vendor for this title, Harrassowitz, has recently informed
us
that the reference edition has ceased with the 1999 ed.  Of course, I'm
not
sure if that is the same thing as the "Library Compedium" volume, though
I
imagine it is.  Hope that is helpful...

Stephanie

Buddy,

My understanding is that there will be no annual editions published for
any
of the Elsevier "Trends" journals.  But you may want to call Elsevier at
1-888 437-4636 or email usinfo-f@elsevier.com for more information.

Sandra,
