Stranger in a Strange Land

II  f you re a long-term subscriber to books & culture, chances are you’ve received at least one of our readership surveys, if not more. Like most magazines that hope to stay in business, we try to stay in touch with our readers. If you’ve responded to a survey in the past, thanks very much: your feedback is always helpful. (And if you didn’t respond, that’s OK, too: some of us don’t have the gift of responding to questionnaires.)                •

We’re excited about a new survey instrument devised by our research department. It’s called an “e-panel,” and it’s extremely economical, not to mention other advantages over conventional mailings. Volunteers will hear from us via email roughly once a month. We’ll ask you about what you’d be interested in seeing more of in the magazine, and other matters of that sort. The time commitment will not be great, but we’d like you to follow through. If you’d like to learn more about this opportunity to help—and be heard—please go directly to this web address:
