Meet Your Archaeology & Museum Studies Sales Rep: Scott Sewell
Scott Sewell has been a part of Routledge for the past five years. He is an avid sports fan with a specific passion for baseball. His favorite teams are the Cincinnati Reds, Cincinnati Bengals, University of Cincinnati Bearcats, and the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, don’t get him started on the subject of Pete Rose (the most overrated player of all time in his estimation), unless you have a couple of hours to kill.
Please contact Scott directly if you are searching for books to use in any of the courses you teach. He will be happy to assist in recommending titles from our extensive library to fit the specific needs of your class. You can email him at scott.sewell@taylorandfrancis.com or call him at 800-634-7064 ext 5113.
