2004 Book Award from AJL,

April 8, 2005

Dear Rosalind:

It truly gives me great pleasure to inform you that the R&S Book Awards Committee of the Association of Jewish Libraries has selected your book, Jewish American Literature: A Guide to Reading Interests (Westport, Conn.: Libraries Unlimited, 2004) as the winner of the 2004 R&S Reference Book Award. Congratulations on the award and having published such an excellent reference resource that came out first in a fairly large field of fine Judaica reference titles published in 2004. A letter will follow shortly in the US mail with further details. Once again, please accept my warm congratulations on winning this award and for all the hard work that went into producing a high-quality book that is certainly worthy of this prize.

Sincerely,

Elliot H. Gertel,

Chair, AJL R&S Book Awards Committee
