New Book About Spooner!!

I have the great pleasure of bringing an exciting new publication to the attention of this blog's readers.

Steve Shone, Assistant professor of political science at Winona State University, has published the first book-length treatment of Spooner's works.

Lysander Spooner: American Anarchist is published by Lexington Books.

I have some initial misgivings about the book's title, because I'm of the opinion that scholars frequently place too much emphasis on Spooner's anarchist views, which, as I've mentioned here, are not really representative of his life's work, especially his legal views.

However, I note that I have not yet read Shone's work, so maybe the title is deceiving.

Nevertheless, I look forward to reading this book, and know that whatever argument it makes would make Spooner very proud.
