Dear History Colleagues,

I am not sure 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. 

Best wishes,

John

P.S.: FYI, Springer/IFIP has recently published “Perspectives on Soviet and Russian Computing”, which I helped to produce. For more information, see:
