THE PATTERN BOOK - CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
_______________________________________
You are hereby cordially invited to submit 2-page manu-
scripts to a book entitled The Pattern Book: Algorithms for
Beauty, edited by C. A. Pickover. The book will contain se-
veral hundred aesthetically interesting patterns, most of
which are generated by computer. For each pattern in the
book, there will be 2 pages: a one-page description fol-
lowed by a page containing a figure or figures illustrating
the pattern.
Although most patterns will be computer generated, the pat-
terns need not be created on a computer. Typical entries
may include tiling patterns, various symmetrical designs,
synthesized or real patterns in nature, other biological and
botanical shapes, recursive or chaotic shapes, various
mathematically-derived forms, and hand-drawn artistic
shapes.
The book will exist, and may be requested from me, in photo-
copy form until several hundred patterns are contributed,
and the book published. The chances of acceptance of your
pattern will be increased significantly if your text is well
written, and if your pattern is rendered in a high-quality
form, is novel, and is attractive. Your name, address, and
explanatory text will appear with each pattern, and a panel
of distinguished judges will select, announce, and award the
ten best patterns after 100 patterns are accepted.
The format for your submissions should be very carefully ad-
hered to, and you should request an "Instructions for Au-
thors" guide. If your pattern is accepted, you will receive
a pattern identification number for your pattern, and you
may request from me a photocopy version of all the accepted
patterns.
I look forward to hearing from you.

I would like to request the authors' guide for submissions which
you mentioned on FRAC-L. (This was for _The Patterns Book_)
Thank-you!
