This past weekend I finished up the classic work of place names in the United States, Names On the Land, by George R. Stewart. Even though the revised version is over 50 years old it is filled with incredible information. Thankfully the New York Review of Books has brought it back into print, but it's a book you can typically find at larger public libraries. Hopefully the copy you find isn't as thrashed as mine!I've been looking ahead and I'm very excited about some of the books I have lined up to read. Again, it's looking like a great year for books!
