medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture From: Diana Wright <[log in to unmask]> > I was offered a chance to rewrite the review, which meant removing all criticism of the press. > >> I have just had a review rejected by H-Catholic of Claude Reignier Condor (sic) _The Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem_.

Keegan Paul, a vererable scholarly British publisher since the end of the 19th c., must have been taken over by BrainWorm-Invested Bean-Counters a few years ago. i (as a dealer) got a catalogue from them and was amazed --and amused-- by the stuff in their list, all of it outrageously priced, new writings for $200-300, reprints of older (frequently *much* older) works in the Public Domain starting at $100. Wallace Budge @ $125 a pop. wow. i was looking at my copies of the Dover reprints from the '60s on my shelves, wondering how on earth i could Cash Out for 50% of their retail... i didn't think to look for typos in the authors' names, however. c ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
