Anyone interested in writing an entry should contact me and include a brief 
cv either in the e-mail message or as an attachment in RTF (Rich Text Fort). 
Writers will have six months to complete the entry. Publication will occur 
sometime in late 2002.

If you have any questions about the DLB, I’ll be happy to address them. You 
can also consult the reference section of your library for hard copies or 
online for electronic versions. Currently there are well over 200 volumes of 
the DLB in print with many more in press. You may access the publisher's web 
site at www.bcl-manly.com and then follow the links for the DLB. You will 
find both a style guide for editors and authors as well as a sample entry. 
Review the style guide carefully. Read the sample entry. Please be sure you 
can work within the parameters of series. If you are still interested after 
reviewing both the style guide and the sample entry, please contact me so 
that we can agree upon an author and schedule.
