You may notice that Metapsychology has a slightly different
format now.  We are using a new database, and we are still
in the transition phase.  We do not yet have a functional
search engine, but we are working on it.

You will also find that reviews are now at different URLs.
The old URLs will lead to an error page, I'm sorry to say.
But you should be able to find the book you want by
browsing.


Here's a list of new reviews published in October.  There
are, I think, 39 of them.

You can find them all listed at
