This quarter no books have been presented, but we have added many new ones to the list, and we rescued one recently published.

New this quarter:

Last year, the Argentinian improviser Paula Farías presented her “Manual de clases”, an eminently practical guide for putting together twelve sessions of improvisation classes (for both online and in-person modality). A self-edition now available in easy-access digital format, you must contact the author for an edition in physical format.
