Oral Tradition, edited by John M. Foley. ISSN: 0883-5365.

Volume 11 (1996) and Volume 12 (1997) will appear in 1997. Issue 1 of Volume 11 is at the printer's and will be out in mid-March. Current volume prices (Volume 11 and following, if ordered in advance): $35 per volume for libraries and institutions and $20 for individuals for private use. Volume 1 through Volume 6 had three numbers per volume. Volumes starting with 7 (1992) have two numbers per volume, but at least the same total number of pages. The greater single-issue length has allowed the introduction of "clusters" of essays on particular topics or areas, amid the customary mix of articles on a variety of fields. Volume 1 (1986) through 10 (1995) have appeared. Back issue prices: $45.00 and $25 per volume. All back volumes are available. Individual issues are not sold separately.
