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:

Here are all the titles in the computer history series: http://www.springer.com/computer/general+issues?SGWID=4-155-404-173896803-84... Why are these books so expensive?
