By xn act of kusalakarma we were able to meet in London and lay the foundations for a new journal that would specialise in Buddhism, preceded only by A K Narain's launeh of the Journal of the International Association of Buddhist Studies, initially based at the University of Wisconsin, which has also appeared twice a year since 1978 (but has subsequently and Fogrentibly doped is book review section).
