Choice Names Brill Titles in Annual Outstanding Academic Title List

We are proud to announce that four Brill titles have been named in Choice Magazine’s annual Outstanding Academic Title list. This year’s list includes 629 books and electronic resources chosen by the Choice editorial staff from among the 7,263 titles reviewed by Choice during the past year.

Brill’s winning titles include:

	Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World, Executive Editor: Norman A. Stillman. ISBN: 9789004176782.
	The Terror of the Seas?: Scottish Maritime Warfare 1513-1713, Steve Murdoch. ISBN:9789004185685.

“Comprising just over 9 percent of the titles reviewed by Choice during the past year, and less than 3 percent of the more than 25,000 titles submitted to Choice during this same period, Outstanding Academic Titles are truly the ‘best of the best,’” writes Choice Editor and Publisher Irving E. Rockwood. 

Copies of each title will be on display in the Brill booth at the Midwinter American Library Association (ALA) Conference, 20-24 January, in Dallas, Texas. Be sure to stop by booth 1552 to browse through these award-winning titles. (View the complete list of conferences Brill plans to attend this year.)

Choice publishes its annual list of Outstanding Academic Titles from the preceding year in each January issue. Titles are selected for their excellence in scholarship and presentation, the significance of their contribution to the field, and their value as important—often the first—treatment of their subject.

Sincere congratulations go out to the award-winning titles. To learn more about Choice’s Outstanding Academic Title list, visit: http://www.ala.org/acrl/choice/outstanding.
