This message board is The Cauldron: A Pagan Forum's SMF Archive Board. It is closed to new memberships and to posting, but there are over 250,000 messages here that you can still search and read -- many full of interesting and useful information. (This board was open from February 2007 through June 2011).

Our new vBulletin discussion board is located at http://www.ecauldron.com/forum/ -- if you would like to participate in discussions like those you see here, please visit our new vBulletin message board, register an account and join in our discussions. We hope you will find the information in this message archive useful and will consider joining us on our new board.

Only staff members can start new book threads on this board as each thread's first message must be in a very specific format with specific links used, etc.  If you would like a thread on a specific Academic book started here, you may request it in this thread.

Each Request must have the following information or it will be ignored:

1) The (correct) title of the book
2) The author of the book
3) The book's ISBN (we prefer the old 10 digit one, but the new 13 digit will do).

Please don't hide the above in a lot of text in the middle of a paragraph. Remember, this board is for true academic works, not for popular press books that sound scholarly. We will try to get new topics started as soon as the few people authorized to create book topics get around to it. This will NOT be immediately.

I see that those are filed under "Pagan Religion Book Discussions" rather than here in "Academic Book Discussions".  Is this intentional, or an oops?

Intentional. Only books from university presses and the like get put in the "Academic Book" area.
