Since no one apparently knows of any State-side distributor for *Greek
Scripts* (info below), I contacted the publisher in England. For others who
were interested, here is their reply.

Subject: [b-greek] Source for new Greek book?
Does anyone know of an American source for the following title? I can find
nothing on the web other than the publisher's site in London. If I can get
it from the US, it would be quicker...
Greek Scripts An illustrated introduction
edited by Pat Easterling and Carol Handley
New Hellenic Society Occasional Publication 2001
Synopsis
Greek of some form has been written for over 3000 years, painted or
scratched on to pottery, cut into stone, written on papyrus, parchment and
paper, and eventually printed, first by traditional methods and now by
computer technology. Script styles, letter forms, symbols and abbreviations
vary according to where and when they were used, and for what purposes- to
identify the contents of an amphora or the coinage of a despot, to record
the deeds of an emperor or condemn an enemy, to provide Christianity with
its liturgical texts, or students of ancient literature with their
text-books. This broad range is dealt with in this volume by a group of
Cambridge scholars, each expert in a particular area- epigraphy, papyrology,
numismatics, palaeography- in order to offer an accessible introduction to
the subject to anyone with an interest in Greek.
