Congratulations on hosting the conference entitled CFHT 2007 Users'
Meeting : Building CFHT's Future. You are to be commended for your
service to astronomy and to furthering the exchange of ideas between
researchers in this field.
We would like to encourage you to consider publishing the proceedings of
this conference in the Astronomical Society of the Pacific Conference
Series (ASPCS). The ASP is a non-profit organization dedicated to
disseminating astronomical information. The ASPCS is the largest book
publication series in the world dedicated entirely to publishing the
proceedings from astronomical conferences. By publishing with us you
benefit from the following:
* Access to the major astronomical departments in the world.
Virtually all have standing orders with us.
* Publishing on our electronic site within a week or two after the
final manuscript draft has been approved. We encourage you to visit
our web site at www.aspbooks.org <http://www.aspbooks.org/> and examine
it.
* Combining your research with the publications of major
conferences all over the world. Your research will be easy for others
to locate, especially the younger astronomers who often use our volumes
to learn about the latest developments in their field.
* Competitive pricing. As a non-profit organization, our prices
both to conference attendees, individuals, and libraries are
substantially lower than other book publishers.
* A permanent record of your proceedings both in hardcopy and

In addition to the above items, the ASPCS has on-line macros and
