Attached is the October 2011 political marketing group newsletter which contains several reports and features as well as two calls for papers for conferences on political marketing in 2012, including the PMG's own conference in May. There are also 5 books included as after completing a search on amazon one day I found a few I had not been aware of previously. Our field is growing!
best wishes
