"[The Yearbook volumes]...represent the ultimate in research about international associations"

 

 

The annual Handbook of International Associations, based on data produced by the Union of International Associations and published by K.G. Saur of Munich, London and New York, is getting bigger and better all the time.

 

The current work runs into five volumes altogether, although the first two are the main ones. They are huge and heavy and represent the ultimate in research about international associations - almost all of which run meetings of one sort or another.

 

In total, there is data about nearly 20,000 organizations, and it represents an absolute must for any conference city which seriously seeks international association business; and I've found few that don't.

 

And every three months there's a new edition of the Congress CAlendar, a global treasure house of who's meeting where, when and what they are talking about.

 

Details of all these come form K.G. Saur Verlag, Postbox 711009, 8000 Munich, West Germany.
