A review of Pauline Maier's book,
Ratification (Simon & Schuster, 2010) by Michael J. Klarman (Harvard-Law) is available
here. The review appears in the December, 2011 issue of the
Harvard Law Review. Here's an excerpt:
Pauline Maier’s Ratification is one of the best books ever written about the American Founding. The publication of twenty-one volumes of the Documentary History of the Ratification of the American Constitution has enabled her to tell the story of ratification in greater detail than one might have thought possible, and Maier is a masterful storyteller.

Ratification at the 126th annual meeting of American Historical Association in Chicago later this week (according to a November, 2011
announcement).
