Book 4 of 2026! This book was incredibly helpful and actually fun to read! Between devouring this (and re-watching all of "Younger" 😍), I now feel a lot closer to understanding the world of trade publishing. Thanks, @katemckean.bsky.social!

Finished reading book 2 of 2026 on the plane home from #AHA26 yesterday. Great collection of cutting-edge research on drugs in Mexico by top historians that will be super helpful as I begin my new book project!
