Just received a note from John J. Guthrie, Jr., who teaches history at Daytona Beach Community College, with (in addition to a generous review of my Good Templar book that appeared in the Florida Historical Quarterly) a flyer on his forthcoming book. It is called Keepers of the Spirits: The Judicial Response to Prohibition Enforcement in Florida, 1885-1935 (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press; ISBN 0-313-30190-5, $59.95). I said forthcoming but now see that the publication date is 31 January 1998! In any event, the chapters include: Historians and the Liquor Laws; Local Option to National Prohibition, 1885-1920; Concurrent Enforcement of the Liquor Laws, 1905-1922; Prohibition and Privacy Rights, 1921-1930; The Judicial Check on Property Forfeiture, 1921-1930; National Prohibition to Local Option, 1928-1935.
