Three new issues of Lethaia!

[Stefan.Bengtson@xxxxxx (Stefan Bengtson)]

After a trying period of technical reorganization, work pile-ups, and pure
mishaps (such as an entire issue disappearing in the mail between
film-setting and printing) the sadly delayed issues of Lethaia Vol. 29 have
finally been finished and are now all in the printing mill.

I sincerely apologize for the delay and thank subscribers and authors for
their patience. This kind of delay in the publication of an alleged
periodical is clearly not acceptable. With this year's volume we expect to
be back on track.

On the other hand: When did you last receive three reeking hot issues of a
leading palaeontological journal in one fell swoop (or possibly two fell
swoops - it depends on whether the two last issues will catch up with the
first one in the printing press)? Maybe you should schedule a week off just
to read all the exciting new stuff!
