MARCH 2013 
Greetings! 
          
            Spring is right around the corner, and we have lots to share with you this season. We've just uploaded our new Spring/Summer 2013 catalog to our website. You can view it here or email us to request a printed copy. In addition, we've added a new tab on our homepage to make it easier for professors to request evaluation copies and have uploaded several new titles to NetGalley. Hope you enjoy the usual goodies and a few extras in this month's newsletter.
