Joseph J. Spengler Best Book Prize Second Call for Nominations

In 2004 the Society established the Joseph J. Spengler Prize for the 
best book in the history of economics. Beside the honor, there is a 
stipend of $500 plus travel expenses up to $500 to attend the 
presentation at the Society's annual conference.
Eligibility: Original, authored books in the history of economics 
published, in English, during the two calendar years preceding the 
HES Meeting at which the award is presented (this year, from 1 
January 2008 - 31 December 2009). Scholarly books and monographs are 
eligible, as are English-language translations of scholarly books in 
the history of economics, but neither textbooks, doctoral 
dissertations, nor edited volumes are eligible.

Nomination process:  Any publisher may nominate one or two books and 
should submit a nominating note and four copies of the book for each 
book nominated.  Any individual, including a book's author, may 
submit a nominating note and four copies of the book nominated. 
Eligible books may be re-nominated in successive years.  (Individual 
nominators may wish to ask the nominee's publisher to supply the 
copies. Before nominating a book, individuals may wish to check with 
the HES Secretary, to ensure that the book has not already been nominated).

To be considered, nominations (and the four book copies) must be 
received no later than December 31, 2009.

Nominations should be submitted to: Tim Leonard, Secretary, History 
of Economics Society, Department of Economics, Princeton University, 
Fisher Hall, Princeton, NJ, United States, 08544.
