            whether you are aware that Springer produces “Springer
            Briefs”, a special line of short books.  Although no royalty
            is involved, this series could be a way to publish
            noteworthy historical events in computing that would be
            accessible to a wide audience.  The page count is limited to
            125 pages maximum and the copyright for the work remains
            with the author.  Publication is in paper copy and e-copy
            formats and the work would become part of Springer’s
            publication listing and its digital library.  If you have
            material that qualifies as a significant contribution to the
            literature, you may wish to consider this possibility.  See
            the attached flyer and proposal form for further
            information.  <o:p></o:p></span></p>
