Bibliography 2013 Updated

This is an update of publications for 2013 so far.  It is here for new readers of the Blog and those old readers who want to see what has been happening.  The separately published books are given in bold letters.  The list does not contain the entries placed on this Blog unless they were also circulates on other sites, such as Family Security Matters and EEJH (East European Jewish History).  

If you have published books you want me to review, please send them.  Contact me and I will give you a good mailing address.

I also appreciate your comments on what is posted almost daily.
