w e l c o m e to News Bytes, the University of North Carolina Press's online newsletter. We are working to make News Bytes an Internet destination: a site that you'll want to bookmark and revisit frequently. To that end, we've added features that you might find in any general interest magazine, including travel, gardening, and food stories, author interviews and profiles, and book excerpts--all featuring UNC Press books and authors. You'll also find news about the Press and our books: awards won, bookstore events featuring our authors, and excerpts from reviews.

With this issue, we go from a quarterly to a bimonthly publication. Our features include an interview with Julia S. Ardery about why the collection of folk art exploded in the U.S. after the mid-1960s . . . . an essay on cardinals by a beloved natural history writer. . . . news about the Press's first CD-ROM publication. . . . a recipe for oyster pie, for the last two months of oyster season. . . . a poem for backyard basketball afficianados.

You'll also find news roundups and information about an exciting new website feature: a contest in which you can win up to $100 worth of UNC Press books. No brain cells required: all you have to do is enter your name and email address!
