It was, in fact, as is this work, a selected reading and reference list, atonce broader in its coverage and less complete by some hun- dreds of titles, than a true bibliography of the immediate subject. The criterion for the inclusion of each title in this listing has been the relevanceof the work to tageneral in- terests and specific needs of persons concerned with language and its disorders, especially SpecificLanguage Disability, or ineptitude in learning the basic skills of language (also designated developmental dyslexia, strephosymbolia, and by many other names). The listwas prepared first for students in language re-education at Hood College and elsewhere, and for members of The Orton Society. The editor hasexamined carefully almost all the works listed and has read and usedmany of them extensively o, for specific, limited purposes. A few have been included only on recommendations of colleagues and havenot been annotated. The categorical divisions and some blank pages have been retained becauseusers have reported them to be helpful, even though there is some inaccuracy in the placement of cited titles. Many selections belong inmore than one section, but they are usually cited only once. Section X represents the brief beginning ofa list of signifi- cant publications issued abroad, often in languages other than English. We plan to enlarge this section; suggestions from readers will be appreciated. An index of authors, an alphabetical listing of titles andone by publ;cation date have been prepared for the convenience of students and researchers. A list of publishers'ad- dresses is also appended, complete as far as their availability at the time of publication made possible. Selection becomes increasingly difficult as the literaturegrows. The editor's personal bias, the expressed needs of the primary users and the limitations of material available insome areas may be obvious. Faced with the need to be realistic, we have tried to include the most important of the relevant books from thepast as well as a selec- tion from current literature which will meet the needs of the beginner, the seriousstudent, and the experienced scientist, clinician and teacher. More extensive bibliographiesare not hard to find in the listed works themselves. The annotations notes to students and colleagues are solely the editor's responsibility; none of them represents anyone's official view. Perhaps the most prolific and significant singlesource of papers in this field is the BULLETIN of The Orton Society. The 1971Index to its first twenty-one volumes and the Tables of Contents of the 1972 and 1973issues form a complement to the present work. Their several hundred titles, already familiarto many users of this Bibliography and compactly available, are not repeated here.The serious student will need both reference lists. Manypeople have been helpful in preparation of the earlier versions of the listand of this revision. They in- clude The Hood College Library, which has been generous in both its purchasesand its loan policy; reviewers for the BULLETIN of The Orton Society, especially Regina Cicci; the friendsand secretaries who have helped with the compilations, with Gordon Wallace and Charles Stevenson making specialcontributions to work on the 1974 revision; Ian M.T. Kirk, who has compiled the Author and Title Indexes;Mount St. Mary's College, Em- mitsburg, Maryland, whose staff, Eugene LaCrosse and his associates, executedthese Indexes through the generous employment of their computer facilities; the Educators Publishing Service, which suppliedthe publishers' address list and many helpful services; and, especially, The Orton Society,which has sponsored this venture, but which is, of course, absolved from any responsibility for the editor's faultsand opinions. The flood of literature, and especially of journalpapers, will require increasing cooperation of users if future revisions of the Bibliography are to serve their needs. The editor will appreciate suggestionsof titles to be includ- ed, as well as comments, and, where convenient, reprintsor photocbpies of papers. The effectiveness of the work is enormously enhanced by the collaboration of itsusers. Margaret B.
