Welcome back to the Glomerata feature of the site where we judge books, and perhaps even entire years, by the robust empirical data we can gather from hardbound cover. This is fair, because your average 18-22 year old is always asking him or herself “What will people think of this cover a decade or more, hence?”
Every young person says the word “hence.” Ask them.
Anyway, this week’s additions, linked below, move us rapidly through the end of the 1990s at Auburn University. I’m in these books, so they have that working against them, but the covers are handsome.
