----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- 
I have prepared and posted online an e-version of the edition of Roy 
Harrod's interwar papers and correspondence recently published by Elgar. 
The free-of-charge online version includes most of the materials in the 
book; some copyright holders, unfortunately, haven't given permission to 
post their materials on the web, but I have compensated by adding some 
bonus documents: transcription and abstracts of correspondence not included 
in the printed version, images of documents transcribed there and of other 
documents cited. 
 
Besides the obvious aim of making the collection widely available to 
scholars, I also wanted to (partially at least) bypass the "editor's 
dictatorship" consisting in the categorization of entries in the subject 
index. This is done by means of a search engine allowing readers to work 
out their own reading path. (The search engine also captures the documents 
I had to blank out for copyright reasons). 
 
I have also prepared a section called "later additions" where I am plannig 
to post any updates (I expect the publication of these papers will remind 
people of having seen letters to or from Harrod in obscure places ....) and 
any relevant comments from readers. 
 
The electronic edition can be reached via the Harrod home page, at 
http://economia.unipv.it/harrod 
 
Happy surfing.
