This concludes my second year as co-editor of the AJLH. I'm extremely proud of the progress we've made and the quality and quantity of research that we're publishing. It has been a pleasure working with my co-editor Stefan Vogenauer and our managing editor Donal Coffey, Roman Hoyos our book reviews editor for the Americas, the production crew at OUP, and of course the authers and referees. There's a lot more exciting scholarship on the horizon for 2018!
