----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- Hello, all. The Review of Political Economy has received review copies of the following books. If you're interested in reviewing one or more of these books, please e-mail me off-list. I normally give reviewers a deadline of about 6 months and I try to be fairly generous with word-limits, so that the reviewer can develop an idea or two in the review. Some books will have more than one taker, so please allow me about a week to sort out competing requests and select reviewers. Suggestions for joint reviews are most welcome, as are proposals for review articles, though I don't want to overdo the latter. If you and I are not acquainted, please provide a little info -- really, just a couple of sentences -- about your background and qualifications. Thanks in advance. I look forward to hearing from many of you.
