Hi Willard
If relevant book and journal notices from commercial publishers are banned,
surely one consequence would be that Humanist would be discriminating
against authors who are not good self-publicists?

Willard
given that what was forwarded was from an electronic notification service it might make more sense to send information about that inviting list members to subscribe to receive notifications of those journals they feel relevant?

Willard,
I have no fear that Humanist will become commercialized if its readers are kept aware of new publications of interest. If they were collated and sent in a single message (as you often do), then anyone who wants to ignore such a message could simply delete it.
By the way, I've found announcements of publications very useful. Moreover, your overviews (as well as others who contribute to this list) are often quite stimulating.
