The University of California Press has begun distributing books for the British Film Institute in North and South America and Asia. New titles in the BFI's Modern Classics series include Trainspotting and Do the Right Thing, and the Film Classics series has just released an appreciation of Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai.
In other news, two presses built around visionary religious thinkers have decided to join forces. Anthroposophic Press in Great Barrington, Mass., which publishes the works of Rudolf Steiner (1869—1925), will distribute books for the Swedenborg Foundation/Chrysalis Books, publishers of Emmanuel Swedenborg (1688— 1772). Anthroposophic will also distribute newly formed Codhill Press of New Paltz, N.Y., publisher of Seeing Venice: An Eye in Love (May) by The Zen of Seeing author Frederick Franck.
