More books for review

Fancy a good read?
We have several books available for review, just waiting for some budding literary critics to shed their reticence and step forward.  Reviews may be short and sweet, long and effusive or blunt and to the point; all will be published in this newsletter, that of the BSDB or both.  The reward?  Your name in print and the book on your office shelf or bedside table.

Anyone interested in reviewing any of the following should contact Andy Furley (A.J.Furley@Sheffield.ac.uk).
