This is a semi-periodic posting... Ordering ACM SIGGRAPH Publications Orders for all SIGGRAPH publications are handled through ACM (Association for Computing Machinery, Inc.) not by SIGGRAPH directly. Publications that are currently stocked for sale through ACM include the following. o Proceedings for SIGGRAPH annual conferences (usually the last five years or so are in stock, proceedings are not reprinted after copies are sold out because of the high cost of reprinting -- the initial print run is about 20,000 copies with 5,000 or more being for subsequent sale). Copies of each year's proceedings are sent to all members of ACM SIGGRAPH after the conference, usually arriving October-November. Approximate cost to members: $30.00 per copy. o Proceedings of most SIGGRAPH sponsored or co-sponsored conferences, symposia, and workshops (the symposium on computational geometry, the workshops and symposia on user interfaces, the symposia on document processing, and others) subject to availability. Approximate cost to members: $20.00 per copy. o SIGGRAPH Video Reviews in 1/2" VHS and 3/4" U-matic format are kept in stock permanently (copies are restocked on a regular basis). Some issues are available in PAL format (but not SECAM). Approximate cost to members: $50.00 per copy (a few special issues cost substantially more because of production costs). o SIGGRAPH slide sets (technical slides, art show slides, and exhibitor slides from various years plus any special slide sets issued by SIGGRAPH). Approximate cost to members: $50.00 (?) per copy. Other SIGGRAPH publications and materials are offered from time to time. Complete information on availability, prices, and ordering procedures is available in the ACM Publications Catalog, which is updated annually. (Prices quoted above are approximate and are for not intended to be accurate. Prices for non-members are higher than for members following ACM policies.) Some SIGGRAPH publications are not sold, for various reasons, primarily because the costs outweigh the anticipated benefits. This includes many materials distributed at the annual conferences such as course notes, art show catalogs, film & video show catalogs, and exhibitor information contained in the final program. Some or all of these may be sold in future years, but none are available at this time except at the annual conferences. (The one exception to this is that full sets of course notes are available to educational institutions and SIGGRAPH local groups at special discount prices if ordered prior to the conference. These sales are handled separately from all others. Details are available from the SIGGRAPH education committee and the SIGGRAPH local groups steering committee.)
