Book Reviews Report [Posted by Robert Dale on behalf of Graeme Hirst]

Book reviews are edited by Graeme Hirst. We continue to publish one or two reviews in each issue, a smaller number than in the past as fewer books overall are being published in computational linguistics nowadays.

However, a new series of CL books edited by Graeme Hirst recently began publication. In order to avoid a conflict of interest, reviews of these books will be coordinated by our squibs editor, Pierre Isabelle, with Graeme out of the loop.
