I thought that I would let biofilmers know that the third book produced
by the (British) Biofilm Club will be out soon. You may know that these
are published biennially. BBC1 came out in 1994 (for the 1993 meeting),
BBC2 came out AT the 1995 meeting whilst BBC3 will be out in time for
the 1997 meeting at the end of September.
I would like to emphasis the speed of publication. Manuscripts arrived
during July, the book, including an exhaustive index, was produced
July/August and sent to the printers Sept 1st. It must be the most
up-to-date volume around because of this short gap between submitting
and printing!
If you are interested in this (and in the previous two which are still
available at a knock down price) please let me or preferably Dr Barbara
Evans know. She will give you details of cost postage and packing etc.
Barbara is:
sabjbe at cf.ac.uk
We should be able to dispatch these as soon as orders arrive at the
beginning of October.
Cheers,
Julian Wimpenny
