• After a historical review (pre-1980) of study involving the magnetospheric boundary layers and the low-latitude boundary layer, 37 contributions address topics such as the formation of LLBL, its role as a plasma source and sink, and the relationship between the LLBL and the aurora and other ionospheric phenomena. Material is in sections on theory and modeling, high-altitude observations of structure, formation of the LLBL by merging and by collective kinetic effects, wave effects, LLBL as a plasma reservoir, ionospheric observations, and the aurora. A final chapter unites LLBL theory and observations with other information about magnetospheric interaction with the solar wind. There is no subject index.

• We imagine the reader of this preface standing at the AGU bookstall wondering if the tome in hand is worth buying. The answer is "no", except for certain trifling exceptions. Those who wish to learn about the exciting pioneering years of LLBL research should buy the book for Tim Eastman's excellent historical review, our opening chapter. When did the term "LLBL" first enter the field? Eastman will tell you, and much else besides.
