Reading
Our Library
At each meeting our library is open to members to borrow materials until the
next meeting, with a small fee of 25 cents. To plan your reading in advance,
review the Library List.
Detailed information is on the Annotated List.
If you cannot wait until the next meeting, try the resources of the
Calgary Public Library.
Publishing Project
The University of Alberta Press is willing to publish a volume entitled
"Jane Austen and Company: Essays by Bruce Stovel".
Nora Stovel and Juliet McMaster will be contributing articles too,
and there will be essays not only on "our particular Jane",
but on D.H. Lawrence, Margaret Drabble and Margaret Laurence as well.
The Press is asking that Nora try to raise $14,000 in donations to offset publishing costs.
Anyone who contributes at least $50 will receive a copy of the book.
Tax receipts will be issued for the donation amount less the cost of the book
(estimated to be $30-$40). Forms to make a donation will be available at the
November meeting. Or, send donations to
University of Alberta Press, Ring House 2, Edmonton, AB T6G 2E1.
