American Conservative readers will enjoy the regionalism special issue of the University Bookman, guest-edited by TAC regular Bill Kauffman and featuring contributions from Jesse Walker (on soul music), Jeremy Beer (on Booth Tarkington), Caleb Stegall (on Kansas), and yours truly (on Missouri’s Jim Reed, Mencken’s favorite senator), among others.

And speaking of Kauffman, his column in the new issue of TAC is perhaps his best yet, a report from the Third North American Secession Convention. Subscribers can read the piece on-line now in PDF form. And if you’re not yet a subscriber, sign-up — you’ll get six issues free, plus instant access to our current issue and full archives.
