GOT ‘69?
This summer’s B&N promotion was quite successful for 1969: The Year Everything Changed, and BookScan numbers are closing in on the goal I’d set for the book. It’s not too late to celebrate the 40th anniversary of this wild year! (Visit the BOOKS page, top right, and click on the direct link to 1969 at your online bookstore of choice.)

“What a year! [A] fast-paced, readable book.” – Rutgers Magazine
