As far as I know the only bookseller in the world with access to BITNET
is Mario Casalini in Firenze. He will accept e-mail orders. I often
wonder how a commercial enterpise has managed to get plugged into BITNET
which, or so I was led to belive, is anything but commercial. Perhaps
this is possible only in Italy.
Librarians talk a lot about ordering books electronically, and some do
it. Vendors in this country make it possible to do so using software
which they distribute. I am not aware that anyone abroad does it yet.
For Randy Donaldson, and other similarly inclined Germanists, the
easiest way to find out how and when it will be possible to order German
books electronically is to call Jane Maddox, local rep. of Otto
Harrassowitz, at 1-800-642-2999. If anyone knows, she does.

Re R. Donaldson's query about book buying by BITNET:
How about Americanists in Europe? Is it possible to place orders with
U.S. book sellers by bitnet, and to have them deliver to a European
address?

The last I heard, Joanna Russ was still on the faculty of the
University of Washington in Seattle. Try writing her care of the
English Department.

Can anyone out there give me the exact reference for Dwight Bolinger
"Free will and determinism in language, or who does the choosing, the
grammar or the speaker?"
Thank you,
