Other journals accepting electronic copy include:
"J. Chemical Educ." (fall/autumn 1991) 
"Shock Waves" --- from Springer-Verlag, uses a TeX macro package
which one respondent called dated ... but has the advantages
of portability (as it is ASCII thru-and-thru), large number of platforms
on which TeX/LaTeX will run, low cost yet high-quality output, 
genuinely "open" system as developments are triggered by users 

OK --- graphical inserts (figures, drawings, photos, etc) are 
a problem for TeX but then I haven't seen a document system
for which this is not also the case.

Reviews in Computational Chemistry II
	by Kenny B. Lipkowitz and Donald B. Boyd, Editors

Volume 2 of the series "Reviews in Computational Chemistry" has been 
published.  Leading experts describe advances in conformational
analysis, protein folding, molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics,
quantitative structure-activity relationships, and quantum mechanical
treatments of hydrogen bonding, charges, electrostatic potentials, and
other molecular properties.  An essay highlights key papers in the
field and gives a quantitative comparison of computational chemistry
journals.

Hi, your book sounds fascinating and exactly the kind of book I'd like to
buy, but $125 is 3 times what I can reasonably afford.  I am a grad student.
Are there any plans for an academic discount of any sort?
