New/Changed Titles:
  • The Abbey Newsletter (ISSN 0276-8291) will be suspending operations after vol.27, no.6. The editor, Ellen McCrady, will be stepping down. As of yet there is no successor, despite a continuing search, and publication will not resume until then.
  • Artfocus (ISSN 1192-7712) has ceased with issue #75, vol.10, no.2 (Spring/Summer 2003) and has been continued by CityArt (same ISSN). CityArt's premier issue is vol.1, no.1 (May 2004), and will publish three issues per year, at a subscription rate of $20.
  • CityArt, like Artfocus, will address Canadian contemporary art and culture, while providing a context by investigating the impact of the pioneers of Canadian art. Additional information can be accessed via: http://www.artfocus.com/cityart.html.

  • The Silver Society Journal (ISSN 0960-8745), numbered issue 1 (1990)Ð15 (2003), has changed its title and ISSN to Silver Studies (ISSN 1743-2677) with number 16 (2004). This title is published by the Silver Society of London.
Ceased Titles:
As you may have heard: the interiors quarterly, Nest (ISSN 1098-4585), has ceased with no.26 (Fall 2004). Selected back issues are still available from the publisher at $17.50 each. An article in the August 19, 2004 New York Times, "A Champion of the Quirky Writes Finis," details the circumstances of the decision.

According to the "new" version of the Nest website http://www.webhustlers.com/nest/, some electronic form of continuation may take place, and it may include a searchable archive of the entire publication run. Summary content, including selected images, is already available online.

Enumeration Changes:
The Art + Auction (ISSN 0197-1093) saga has developed further. Since we've last discussed it, vol. 26 ended with the August issue, no.14, and vol. 27 began in September 2004 with issue no.1. Consistency has reigned supreme with the October and November issues numbered vol. 27, no.2 and no.3, respectively, but who knows how many issues this volume will have? We'll keep you updated.
