Abstract

This study of reviews in six scholarly journals of books on U.S. history examines the sources of books reviewed; their prices, length, and other characteristics; the affiliations of the reviewers; and the timeliness and coverage of reviews. The findings indicate that, although historians rely on reviews in scholarly journals for information on current publications, these reviews are in some ways inadequate for their purposes.
