Very disappointed that I can no longer add a new edition to Goodreads. I understand why the change was made, but I often have different covers than the ones listed here, and like to have the version I have in my virtual library.

I see that Goodreads Librarians can add alternate cover editions, and I may apply for the chance to become one. I'll keep y'all posted.

Wonderful; perhaps one of the first "modern" critical historical investigations of the April 19th, 1775.
