Dear professor, It is my pleasure to invite you to be included in our highly successful title, Dictionary of International Biography (传记), the Twenty-Third Edition of which is scheduled for publication in winter 1993/94. Further details are enclosed for your information and I invite you to complete and return the Biographical Questionnaire ( 问卷) by the date shown. Entries chosen for inclusion will be compiled by our editors and biographees (传记者) will be sent typescripts (原稿) for approval before publication. Here at the IBC we have been producing biographical works for thirty years. The Twenty-Third Edition of Dictionary of International Biography will join our many other titles on the shelves of public libraries and libraries of colleges, leading universities and companies worldwide. As we approach the twenty-first century, the young men and women who will shape the world since after the year 2000 are now already at work or taking further education. Their destiny is to guide the world. To give them even greater international coverage," Who will be Who in the 21st Century" will be issued as a separate but distinct part of this edition. I very much hope that you will provide us with your biographical and career details for this new edition. Please complete the questionnaire and return it to us by the date shown. I look forward to hearing from you. |
