Editor’s note from JUNE

From a day's discovery to a month's view.

Even as articles grow, we keep the primary source and the date we checked beside them. At month's end, after an editorial check, we gather them into one volume so you can reread it in your next work.

A month of finds, on the shelf.

Covers and contents, easy to revisit.
