EDNOTE. The IVNS provides a number of services to the Nabokov community. These include the scholarly print publicationsTHE NABOKOVIAN, NABOKOV STUDIES; Nabokov panels at meetings of the MLA, AATSEEL, and other scholarly associations; ZEMBLA, the extraordinary web site run by Jeff Edmunds, and the discussion forum NABOKV-L. Apart from the print publications, these service are available to all interested parties free of cost, although, alas, not cost-free to the people who provide them. These activities are, for the most part, carried out by a small nucleus of dedicated souls. The number of people who benefit is quite large; the number who are actually members of the Society is pathetically small. As editor of NABOKV-L, I would urge our subscribers, some 700 of them, to join the Nabokov Society, and support its activities. Membership inquiries should be directed to Prof. Stephen Parker sjp@ku.edu; NABOKOV STUDIES subscription queries to Prof. Zoran Kuzmanovich NabokovStudies@davidson.edu. Other queries may be addressed to me at NABOKV-L.

LASTLY, Society membership and/or subscriptions to NABOKOV STUDIES would be excellent holiday gifits.

The IVNS celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2003.
