Books received; notes on contributors. Another themed issue, on "The Poetry Industry", which in fact only meant printing a couple of the short papers presented at a one-day conference held in the English Faculty at Oxford. John Fuller's history of his Sycamore Press makes interesting reading, though, Bernard O'Donoghue talks about poetry editing (having himself been an editor of Oxford Poetry) and Nicholas Humphrey's parody of over-annotation is obvious, but still funny.
