----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- 
Hello, all. Here, at long last is the latest Review of Political Economy list of books for
review. Many of you are already familiar with the procedure. If you'd like to review one
or more of the books on the list, please respond to me off-list. I'll want a few days to
sort out competing requests, but I should get back to you within a week. If I don't know
you, could you say a few words about your professional background and your qualifications
for reviewing the books you're requesting.
 
I'm trying to put in place a set of procedures for reducing the lag between receipt of a
book and the appearance of a review. In particular, I'll be increasing the size of the
review section until my backlog is considerably reduced, and I'll ask reviewers to get
their reviews to me within four months of receipt of the book. I'll also be issuing these
lists on a more frequent basis. We try to give reviewers ample space to develop a serious
point, and that won't change: expect to have about 1000-1500 words for most reviews,
slightly more for joint reviews. Suggestions for review articles are welcome.
 
I look forward to hearing from many of you. Thanks in advance. 
 
Regards,
