Chemists tend to be prolific authors. Some say they have a conceit of authorship, whereas others contend it is pride. Stacey was certainly proud of his many scientific papers (more than 350) and several books. In addition, he was founder-editor of three journals and he was a member of the editorial boards of several others. He was a supporter of Advances in Carbohydrate Chemistry from its inception. He served on the advisory board for many years, was associate editor, and contributed to early volumes.

One of the recent fundamental advances in carbohydrate chemistry has been enzymic synthesis in vtiro this has now been realized with dextran8 and with levan.8 However, since phosphate sugars are not involved in the enzymic syntheses of these two bacterial polysaccharides, it is obvious that phosphorylation is just one process for the natural synthesis of polysaccharides.
