"This combination of superlative content and a straightforward, user-friendly interface … is a noteworthy addition to any academic library collection." - Jocelyn Berger-Barrera, Collection Building, Vol. 27.3, March 2008

"We hope that making the books available in these two new forms promotes increased interest, attention, and use in the academy. … these books stand as models of exceptional scholarship in the discipline and rich examples of how new media can transform the traditional monograph form." - Robert B.
