After 10 years and 20 issues we’re ending Dot Dot Dot and we would like to take this opportunity to thank our readers and contributors since 2000 for your ongoing interest and support. HOWEVER please note that it’s more accurately a *pseudo*-ending, as our constellation will continue to assemble a bi-annual publication with a new name, Bulletins of The Serving Library, that will carry on where Dot Dot Dot left off. The first Bulletins — effectively Dot Dot Dot 21 — is due out in Spring 2011. More information on the reasons for the shift, including root-level changes in our publishing mechanism, is available at www.servinglibrary.org. From now on, the present website is an archive.

Certain back issues are still available from http://shop.dextersinister.org
