Authors receive jointly 30 complimentary copies of their book. No royalty is paid on Lecture Notes in Physics volumes. But authors are entitled to purchase directly from Springer other books from Springer (excluding Hager and Landolt-Bornstein) at a 33 % discount off the list price.

Editors note The above sentences were dictated by Professor Edward Teller to his secretary in March 2003. The text was to be the Foreword of the first edition of the Handbook of Nuclear Chemistry (HNC) published in November 2003.

We still deeply regret that we lost the opportunity to present him with a complimentary copy of HNC as a token of our gratitude for his support. However, his words have not lost their timeliness over the years. We have decided to have them published unchanged thus expressing our respect for his memory.
