If you also subscribe in advance to Volume II ($20 total) we will send you all the back issues of our newsletter. To join, send your name and the address where you would like to receive our publications to the Society's treasurer: Fred Seddon Department of Philosophy Wheeling Jesuit College Wheeling, WV 26003 USA If you like, you may pay by Visa or Mastercard, which might ease currency conversion costs for some, or just make it easier to respond since you can join by sending me an E-mail message at [log in to unmask] We also invite you to submit your work to either of our publications. FILM AND PHILOSOPHY will consider any work which significantly uses film and which makes an interesting philosophical point; even a quick dip into Volume I will show that we interpret the word "philosophical" in a very inclusive sense. The journal is blind refereed. Several copies of your paper would save us xeroxing. While work may be sent to any editor, unless you know one personally, you might as well send it to me. Kendall D'Andrade Department of Philosophy Shawnee State University Portsmouth, OH 45662 USA All our book reviews go into the newsletter. If you are interested in writing one, may I suggest that you send me a short note "reserving" the book for yourself. Length: up to 500 words. Each newsletter also prints several, sometimes quite a few, film reviews and mini-essays on film-related topics. Length: up to 1500 words. The newsletter, like the journal, actively seeks diverse points of view. Please send your submissions for the newsletter to me at the address above. !We invite you to become a member of the SPSCVA!
