The appearance of the long awaited Volume III of the Handbook of
Texas has elicited excellent reviews. We here at the office are extreme-
ly proud of the articles that contributors from across the country made
to this highly useful work. But it is to Eldon Branda that the major
honors must go. He worked on it untiringly for eight years. His over-

book review editor, continues to elicit fine reviews for the Quarterly.
