Dear MA and PhD Students in History, One of our recent MA graduates, Don Fields, has very generously decided to donate all of the textbooks he used in all his graduate history classes to anyone who would like them. He has even drawn up a detailed list, organized by course (see below and enclosed attachment), and has boxed them by course as well. The books current reside at the "free book table" just outside the main department office (Robinson B 359). So please feel free to peruse them and take away what you want. On behalf of the rest of the department, let me thank Don once again for his generosity and also for drawing up a detailed list and organizing them by course to make it easier for you to select.
