and it retains certain features of that even now. It has no physical
location, or even office, no paid staff or editors, but books in the
Original Series are published in the first place to satisfy
subscriptions paid by individuals or institutions. This means that there
is need for a regular sequence of new editions, normally one or two per
year; achieving that sequence can pose problems for the Editorial
Secretary, who may have too few or too many texts ready for publication
at any one time. Details on a separate sheet explain how individual (but
not institutional) members can choose to take certain back volumes in
place of the newly published volumes against their subscriptions. On the
same sheet are given details about the very advantageous discount
available to individual members on all back numbers. In 1970 a
Supplementary Series was begun, a series which only appears occasionally
(it currently has 24 volumes within it); some of these are new editions
of texts earlier appearing in the main series. Again these volumes are
available at publication and later at a substantial discount to members.
All these advantages can only be obtained through the Membership
Secretary (the books are sent by post); they are not available through
bookshops, and such bookstores as carry EETS books have only a very
limited selection of the many published.
Editors, who receive no royalties or expenses and who are only very
rarely commissioned by the Society, are encouraged to approach the
Editorial Secretary with a detailed proposal of the text the sell btc.
