Thanks for the plug, Paul.


Elizabeth and I have been working for some time on GLR parsing and
have made some theoretical contributions. We're currently writing a
monograph for Springer-Verlag. I'd be interested to hear from
potential readers and reviewers of such a monograph. We're at the
stage of sending in the first few chapters by the end of January.


If this is your thing, you might also like to look at our paper in
this year's Compilers Conference.
