All papers are available online in PDF (this was apparently one of the first journals to disseminate in PDF, in 1994). The journal also reprints some of the better papers from the Electronic Publishing conferences, held bi-yearly from 1986-1992 (EP86, EP88, EP90, EP92). http://cajun.cs.nott.ac.uk/compsci/epo/papers/epoddtoc.html Today's reader might look at the contents and wonder about their relevance, since they don't directly discuss the Web. As an academic, I find this journal valuable, since the papers are of generally high quality (by top researchers), and they provide lots of pointers to the evolution of the ideas that led to many Web technologies. It's one source among many for sifting through the intellectual lineage of electronic publishing technologies. Rohit and Adam might find the following papers especially relevant, in the context of their WWW7 "Evolution of Document Species" paper: Page Description Languages: Development, Implementation and Standardization: A. L. Oakley and A. C. Norris http://cajun.cs.nott.ac.uk/compsci/epo/papers/volume1/issue2/epalo012.pdf Important papers in the history of document preparation systems: basic sources: Richard K. Furuta http://cajun.cs.nott.ac.uk/compsci/epo/papers/volume5/issue1/ep057rf.pdf (Excellent overview of sources) Several of the authors of papers in this journal are now involved in the ACM Document Engineering conference series: http://www.documentengineering.org/ - Jim
