CHANGE IN METHOD OF DELIVERY FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES For the past several years, ASM journal subscriptions have been fulfilled via air drop shipment to central distribution points, from which the issues were then mailed. Unfortunately, we can no longer afford this service. To hold down drastically rising costs, we have arranged to distribute our journals through surface drop shipment followed by mailing. Subscribers outside the United States will receive their issues two to three weeks later than heretofore, for which we are deeply regretful. There was no way that we could continue the previous service at its very expensive and continually increasing cost. This change in mode of delivery will be effective beginning with the November issues. Subscribers within the United States and subscribers from abroad who are paying the surcharge for direct air mail shipment will be unaffected by the change.
