Well, my browser finally came online, and I had no problem getting 
into the site; I don't know if it makes a difference to use 
tripod.com/rdeh/ instead of tripod.com/rdeh

As advertised, they have the index for the whole of PPC up to no. 55, 
as well as the Oxford Symposium 1981-1994.  You can search the  
indexes by keyword, or look through them under subject headings;  
they are  indexed alphabetically by title of paper, author and 
keyword, with a subsection on recipes. PPC also has a subsection for 
book reviews. 

Of course, all this is fine and well but you don't actually have 
access to the _information_, dammit: but as far as I know the Oxford 
Symposiums should be available through inter-library loan, and PPC 
sells back issues... The PPC index may be of more use to people who 
actually subscribe to the journal, but I suppose it could also be 
available through ILL?

The one thing the site doesn't actually give is PPC subscription 
info, which is a little maddening; the subscription address for USA 
subs is 45 Lamont Rd, London SW10 0HU, and you'd pay $7.95 for a back 
number, less if you order several back issues.  If anyone wants the 
subscription details from other countries, please feel free to email 
me!
