Dear Colleagues:
I am the Book Review Editor for the Legal History & Rare Book Newsletter.
I am looking for reviewers for the following books. The next deadline for
reviews is mid-February for the March issue, but I will understand if it
cannot be done within the time limit and will have to wait for the spring
issue before the convention. The books are available on a first come
basis. The book reviews should be between one and four double-spaced
pages.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or write. They
usually go fast.
