Submit this questionnaire to the acquisitions department only after your manuscript has been invited for consideration by an acquisitions editor.

To the Author or Volume Editor:
You will find this questionnaire a convenient means of providing the Press with basic information necessary to the proper evaluation of your manuscript. Please complete the items as fully as possible. It will speed our evaluation and enable us to report our decision in the shortest possible time. Please type if you can; otherwise, please print or write clearly. Or if you prefer to print out answers on a separate sheet from your word processor, that's fine too. Thank you.
