The Publication Series

The 'Publication Series' is the oldest publication series of the Torkel Opsahl Academic EPublisher (TOAEP). Prior to volume No. 30 (except No. 28), it was called 'FICHL Publication Series'. Several books in this series originate in academic seminars organised by CILRAP. Unsolicited texts are subjected to peer review. The printed versions of the books are distributed through the normal channels and the e-books are made freely available through this web page (with the indicated persistent URL which you can use in citations as it is permanent). Reviews of books in the Publication Series are available here
