Dear Colleagues, I imagine that this book on the History of Scientific Journals: Publishing at The Royal Society 1665-2015, which I have reviewed in the current issue of J Appl Cryst will be of interest:- https://journals.iucr.org/j/issues/2023/04/00/xo0198/index.html My review is open access. The book itself is also open access:- https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctv2gz3zp1 Best wishes, John Emeritus Professor John R Helliwell DSc
