"I am interested in receiving information and material on the subject of
correspondence art, with particular attention placed on the use of rubber stamps
(both visual and textual). Stamp Art has become a growing movement in Europe
and the United States with exhibitions devoted to the medium and books
published documenting the activities of various artists." First appearance of "Art
Spoken Here," a trademark not only of this publication, but of the editor's
forthcoming "Umbrella." The editor voices her concerns for the future of her
continuing in the present periodical in "From the Editor." "...the printing budget
had been cut, not only for the newsletter, but it seems to me for other printing
which is essential for the nuts and bolts of this society. the argument on the part
of some Board members was that most people do not read this newsletter
anymore since it is too big. If that is the case, then perhaps the hours of
preparation and the charge to document the activities of this society are really for
naught. I need your feedback, because this is crucial...If you don't like the back
of the newsletter, then say so, but that is the reason a great many non-librarians
red this newsletter...The future of this publication depends upon you. To be sure,
I can eliminate the obituaries, since 'everyone reads it in the newspapers.' But
there are more essential principles here, or frankly, you will get what you wantand
that is a handsome 24-page ARLIS/NA News Sheet-and another Editor will
be at the helm."
