BookNOTES
books available \| published reviews \| in progress This is a new project which we hope will grow into a reliable reference point for reviews of publications on, or related to, Wittgenstein. Please visit this site for a regularly updated list of books available for review. Philosophers interested in submitting book reviews (max. 2000 words) or longer Critical Notices should send an email to Dr Constantinos Athanasopoulos, Editor of BookNOTES, or to bws@herts.ac.uk. Please include a brief CV or a link to your web page. Specify which book you would like to review and give your postal address so we can send the book to you.
