        Please excuse any duplication.

        ***********************************************************

        Gordon & Breach Science Publishers have recently presented their
        library customers across the world with large increases in
        prices for subscriptions to the 1995 issues of Gordon & Breach
        and Harwood Academic serials, coupled with severe restrictions
        on usage.

        The British Library has had to consider a range of factors in
        deciding whether to continue acquiring this material. After
        reviewing the options the Library has decided not to renew any
        of its subscriptions to these titles.

        We regret that this course of action has been necessary.
