  • Excellent and wide ranging

    The 'New Books Network' is remarkable for its cogent, easy-to-listen-to author interviews, but the NBN Communications podcast is excellent. It's just getting started, but the future looks bright.

Q: What do the physical archives that host those documents say about this story?
The dispersal of libraries and manuscripts has become a significant issue, making understanding the collections more difficult.
