This week's featured read is Matthew Goodman's The Sun and the Moon: The Remarkable True Account of Hoaxers, Showmen, Dueling Journalists, and Lunar Man-Bats in Nineteenth-Century New York.
The book received a nice review in the LA Times this weekend. "Goodman's book," writes Jim Ruland, "is more than the story of a good leg-pull. He explains not only the details of the hoax, but also the circumstances that made it possible."
We'll have a guest post from Matthew on Thursday. In the meantime, be sure to sign up for this week's drawing for a chance at an autographed copy of The Sun and the Moon.
