Chicago, Il.  In case this has notalready been posted on many other
lists.  Today, several sources announced the purchase of Pergamon journals
and books by Elsevier.  This acquisition would make Elsevier by far the
largest sci-tech journal publisher, with well over 1,000 titles.  The
next largest is Springer, headquartered in Germany.  Early news was
carried in AGAINST THE GRAIN, which quoted snippets from the Financial
Times of London.  Over the past weeks, FT has mentioned negotiations for
Pergamon by both Reed and Elsevier.
