[comp.compression] Help on compression techniques

 I am going to be doing some serious work in compression starting
sometime in the next two months. I have looked in a few algorithms
books, but they do not seem to discuss compression in too great of
detail. Huffman coding and few other techniques are discussed, but
other than that I can not seem to be able to dig out much from our
library. I would like to find out about the state of the art in
compression techniques. Are there any good tutorial books on
compression ? Are there any technical journals that discuss the
latest advances in compression? Can anyone suggest any books,
articles, etc. We have just started getting this news group. Are the
posting from this group archived anywhere?

Thanks
