Booklist starred review for Milestone Documents
Word comes that the September 15 issue of Booklist is now “live” at Booklist Online (subscription required) and will soon be in the mail. What this means for us is very exiting: a starred review of Milestone Documents in American History. Here’s a snippet: “Well written and superior in depth and quality, Milestone Documents in American History is an essential resource for reference collections.” I hope that interested librarians will read the full review either online or in print.
As usual, I must thank the terrific team of experts who created the content that is winning so many rave reviews. The work of these scholars (many of whom are blogging over at the Milestone Documents blog) has been singled out by several reviewers as illuminating, readable, and engaging. Those are essential qualities in historical writing aimed at students, and I’m glad that critics think that we delivered the goods.
I am reminded that tomorrow is September 11. As you might guess, our Doc of the Day over at the Milestone Documents blog will be George W. Bush’s Address to the nation of September 11, 2001.
