Reviews

?Highly recommended for persons who manage libraries and community archives.?-Choice

?So a book that concerns itself at least in part with legal notice advertising is an unusual and useful addition. A book that examines the issue when newspapers are beginning the shift to digitized delivery systmes is timely as well....Media scholars who are interested in the public notice function should read this book and use it as a beginning point for further research.?-Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly
