@BobEckstein I can’t stop laughing! Oscar worthy.

The most delightful book I’ve ever held in my hands. Delightful for the artwork, the stories, and the opportunity to whimsically reflect on the places where we collect and consider the bits and pieces--and the great ideas--of the human experience. Bravo @BobEckstein and @PAPress

@Jamey_Bowers @DavidGrann I look forward to tuning it!

Here’s the thing: Trump supporters claim the world sees him as strong. Here’s the former leader of one of America’s closest allies saying the opposite.

@MarkHamill Don’t be surprised if he tries to get Moscow to pay for it.

Just arrived--and Wow! From my friend and MU colleague Jennifer Black @blackjen1 (and UPenn Press), a brilliant and generously illustrated analysis of 19th century advertising and the quest to develop trust and legitimacy among middle class consumers. #bizhist #twitterstorians

When reading my novel, Gideon's Revolution, at a book festival and in the audience I spy Bob Eckstein—cartoonist, illustrator, humorist, known for his work in The New Yorker, The NYTimes, & many others—I know magic's gonna happen. Thanks, Bob! @MisericordiaU @CornellPress

What is The Page 69 Test? It's the idea that a random page (page 69) might reveal something essential about a book. Does it work for Gideon's Revolution? Check it out: https://t.co/7rmicwRM2O

8 years ago I began writing a novel based on the true secret mission to capture Benedict Arnold. Today the UPS truck stopped by, and with my wife and 2 boys looking on, I lifted these out of the box. 8 years later—it’s a really good day. @CornellPress #RevWar #HistoricalFiction
