New Issues

The October Fine Books Notes and Common-place are out, for your reading pleasure. The former features door-to-door book salesmen, Basbanes on the Getty library, and a roundup of upcoming Poe-related events (among other things). In the latter, Carolyn Eastman discusses "sexing up the pirates," Mark Peterson asks why Hollywood can't seem to get the American Revolution right, and the journal unveils a comments feature.
