                        *******************************

        After a period in which many of the world's research libraries
        have faced the possibility of cancelling Gordon & Breach and
        Harwood Academic journals, the British Library has now secured
        an acceptable arrangement for renewing its 1995 subscriptions.

        Our two main concerns have been resolved: use of the material
        will be governed by English rather than Swiss law, and price
        increases are in line with expectations for international
        research journals.

        I am pleased that a satisfactory conclusion to the recent
        uncertainties has been reached, and that our readers will
        continue to benefit from Gordon & Breach publications during
        1995.
