2 Elizabeth Beyor, withoutcompensation, transcribed tape recordings of the course and subsequently edited them into the 15pamphlets. Thelma Snell typed all 15 pamphlets and laid-out most of them. Lisa Barnes contributedillustrations to pamphlets II, IX, and XI. bill MOLLISON edited the pamphlets for accuracy and style, as did I,their publisher, Dan Hemenway. I also performed computer typesetting for this edition. After about 10 yearsof using Thelma's typescript, we were able to offer a typeset version, which is at once more compact, savingtrees and money, and more readable.

3 Now we also offer the pamphlets in electronic form, so that they maybe read directly by computer without use of any paper, saving more trees. This edition has been slightly re-edited to make it more readable, accurate, and deference to the monumental tasks of love in this work, often painstaking, always careful andcaring, and with bill MOLLISON s consent, I have placed these pamphlets in the public domain. Theirreproduction is free to all and encouraged. Credit, above all to bill MOLLISON and secondly to YankeePermaculture, is proper and have rough Spanish translations of a few PERMACULTURE Design Course Pamphlets, some Frenchtranslations, and some German translations.

Volunteer translators are needed, particularly for Spanish versions. Since these pamphlets arein the public domain, we expect that there are translations of which we have not heard.
