Book notes are two page, double-spaced reviews that describe the content, method, and theory of the book---without overt evaluative comment. The point is to offer a shorthand guide to new books.
JFR editors have elected to publish in print form only articles, forums, issue-related papers, and substantive book review essays. Book notes, however, are published on-line in order to offer readers more reviews of recent books and to help bridge the gap between print and on-line publishing. In making information about these books more accessible, we also hope to provide a service to the discipline. As always, individuals may keep the books they review. For a list of available books, please contact jofr@indiana.edu.
