The Access Principle: The Case for Open Access to Research and Scholarship

There was a time, not so long ago, when the release of a scholarly book’s paperback edition constituted what might be called its greater “public ” release. Certainly, the dustjacketed hardback copy would have appeared earlier, but only in the rarified public space of a scholarly bookstore. Research libraries, too, would trot out the hardback editions, lining them up, jacket-less, on the New Book cart. But for students and the educated public the paperback is the underline-and-annotate edition of choice. May the names of those paperback imprints always burn bright across the bookshelves of this life – Vintage Books, Penguin and Pelican, Dover, Dell, Signet, and Harper Torchlight. They made this body of ideas truly public, reaching small-town bookstores – in my case at the back of Edward’s Paint and Wallpaper – as well as big city franchises.

The World\u27s Worst Dictionary

From any standard dictionary, we minimally expect the complete inclusion of basic words, consistency in choice of further entries, and evidence of general care in proofreading. To appreciate these qualities\u27 importance, consider a small dictionary notable for their prodigious absence. I refer to Webster\u27s Dictionary of the English Language: Handy School and Office Edition (HSOE). My copy is a red paperback volume, a revised edition published in 1979 by Book-Craft Guild, Inc., New York. A nearly-identical hardback edition bears a 1976 publishing date
