My book – Temperance Lives: Life Assurance, Drink and Medicine 1840-1918 – is published by Bloomsbury Academic today, as an ebook anyway. Think of it as a soft launch – the hardback will be out in December.

If you would like to look at the front matter, half of the introduction, and the (extensive) indexes you can do that here.

And you can find more details about the book here – you can buy the ebook on that page, with a 20% discount, and if you’re interested in pre-ordering the hardback, you can get 35% off the price if you use the discount code GLR AT8.
