New @ CompPile

Exciting new features @ CompPile:

1--Follow the new link from the front page--"New / Recent Books"--leading to a list of new and recent scholarly books (listed by publisher or by author).

To see the possibilities, click on the first title in the Erlbaum list, Bazerman's _Handbook of writing research_. You'll see a link to the book's website, the publisher's brief description of the book, a "list" of current "CompReviews" for the book (1, for now), and a form that invites you to submit your own review, summary, synopsis, or commentary, about the book or about parts of it.

2--Reviews? Yes. For each new / recent book, you can submit a review and read reviews submitted by colleagues. You can access this review feature from CompPile's home page, too, following the "Reviews @ CompPile" link. The "Reviews" space is our response to the July conversation on WPA-L about reviews / reviewing.
