Featured Title

Featured Title Because it is difficult to judge a reference book's usefulness merely by its title and cover, we've added this page to Literary Liaisons. Every other month, we will feature one of the books listed in our "Researching the Romance" pages. Below you will find a short description of the featured book, the table of contents, bibliographic information, and where possible, a scan of the cover. This page will also provide you with a direct link to Amazon.com so you may easily purchase this book on-line. If any readers have a review, or have found this book to be particularly useful, I welcome comments, and will add them to the page. Simply e-mail us at LiteraryLiaisons@aol.com with your report. Once a book has been featured, the title will remain as a link at the end of this page so you may reference it at a later date. So don't worry if you can't visit us that often. Also, the newsletter lists new featured books. To sign up for direct delivery of the newsletter, click on "Newsletter" below. This month's feature:
