Two new books just landed on my desk:

–Asen, Ancestors, and Vodun: Tracing Change in African Art by Edna G. Bay

–Holy Dogs & Asses: Animals in the Christian Tradition by Laura Hobgood-Oster (currently running neck-and-neck with Tom Goyens’s Beer and Revolution for the unofficial University of Illinois Press book title of the year!)

The publication date for both books is February 25, 2008, but they will be available to order by the end of next week.
