Hello there SPAN people
THANKS a million to all those who have reviewed books for Popular Music in
recent months - the turn over is improving which is exciting - I'd like
top see every book reviewed good or bad so that authors like you and me who
spend years writing feel at least they are appreciated even if they may not
get an easy ride - I am pleased that we are on our way to getting books
reviewed and into the journal before several years have passed- a true
achievement - we are now averaging 6-7 per issue and I would love to get it
to ten -
SO LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE ANY OF THESE! FIRST COME FIRST SERVED
I would like to increase our scope - more ethno and muso etc - the more the
merrier as there is much more comparative work going on these days _ I would
also like to get in more 'area studies' books - any suggestions please let
me know - also if you know someone who would be GOOD for any of the books
here - i.e. they are working in that field - PLEASE pass this onto them and
let me know too
REMEMBER if there is a book out there you see available that is not on the
list - then check with me if it is not in the pipeline and - with prior
agreement - then chase the publisher for a copy and review it
- it seems many who have relatively high-powered university jobs have
barely any time to do the reviews they want to - so I am extremely happy
that all those who have offered have managed to do (I've even got a few done
myself)... and will continue to nag those who have books but have not done
them yet.....
NOT ALL BOOKS in the pipeline show up here for the simple fact I have not
typed them all in -
HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOGMANAY TO EVERYONE
Here's to 2004
