From the Out of Print Books Task Force Committee End-of-year report: As the chair of the Out of Print Books Task Force Committee, I contacted authors and publishers of the out-of-print children's books AJL members submitted through 2005, and have two pieces of good news to report:
1. Alyssa Eisner, an editor at Simon and Schuster Children's Books and a presenter on the Out-of-Print panel at the 2004 convention in Brooklyn, sends word that Simon and Schuster plans to reprint a 25th anniversary edition of A CASTLE ON HESTER STREET in Fall 2007. The illustrator will be Borris Kulikov. 2. Dorrith Sim, author of the out-of-print picture book IN MY POCKET, has reprinted a paper edition of her book. Dorrith reprinted the book as soon as she heard of the interest of AJL members. I would like to urge members to consider purchasing this lovely and moving book for their children's book collections. IN MY POCKET is available through East Renfrewshire Cultural Services for $18 dollars plus postage and packing. The website is: www.eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk/holocaust Librarians can contact Dorrith for more information: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you to everyone for your participation in 2005.
