The April 2009 issue of the online early American history journal Common-place is officially launched. Several early Americanists seek to answer the question “Who reads an early American book?” Historians of the period offer their reading recommendations. Jill Lepore and Jane Kamensky answer questions about Blindspot. The issue was guest edited by Joanna Brooks (SDSU), Eric Slauter (Chicago), and me.
