Book Review

Revising Your Dissertation: Advice from Leading Editors. Edited by Beth Luey. Berkeley: University of California Press, 2004. vii + 255 pp. Includes bibliographical references and index. Cloth $49.95, paper $16.95.
This collection of thirteen essays, most of them by editors at university presses, is the most recent book designed to help new PhDs revise their dissertations for publication. The title page editor, Beth Luey, is founding director of the Scholarly Publishing Program located in the History Department at Arizona State University and author of the highly regarded Handbook for Academic Authors (1987; 4th ed., Cambridge University Press, 2004).	1
The book is divided into two sections, the first providing general information addressed to scholars in all disciplines, the second directed to specific fields: humanities, social sciences, sciences, and arts. Most of the emphasis is on turning a dissertation into a scholarly book, but there is also advice on how to draw articles from a dissertation, and there is one chapter on professional publishing. The book ends with a list of answers to frequently asked questions, such as "How many illustrations can I include?" "When should I start looking for a publisher?" "How long does it take to get a book published?"	. . .
