This issue of the NICPRE Quarterly will mark the last time we send it out in hard copy form to our entire mail list. In order to economize on printing and mailing costs, all future issues will be put on our web page and will be e-mailed to those of you who have sent us your e-mail address. So if you have not done so already, please remember to drop us an e-mail with a message to include you on our e- distribution list by visiting our web-site:

For those of you who like receiving the NICPRE Quarterly in hard copy form, don’t despair. We will continue to send it out to libraries and individuals who prefer receiving the Quarterly in hard copy form. If you want to continue receiving a hard copy of all our publications via the mail, please complete the enclosed post card and return it to us. We will keep you on our traditional distribution list.

In this issue of the Quarterly, the recent results of an economic evaluation of the domestic marketing activities of the Walnut Marketing Board are summarized. As always, I invite readers of the Quarterly to submit articles of interest to readers for future issues.
