June Schlueter's The Album Amicorum and the London of Shakespeare's Time secures a place in cultural history for a group of fascinating objects and a set of social practices from early modern Europe. . . . The book is filled with wonderful surprises . . . buttressed by the author's obvious love for painstaking archival research and genealogy, and it should find readers across a variety of disciplines. --Joseph Monteyne, SUNY Stony Brook Journal of British Studies

A very useful introductory and, in many respects, pioneering work that significantly adds to the cultural background of Shakespeare's London. --Martin W. Walsh, University of Michigan Sixteenth Century Journal
