Philip II by Ed Anson

Arriving very soon (as in October 1st) is a new bio on Philip that has textbook potential.
Ed(ward) Anson is a long-time Macedoniast, teaches in Arkansas, has authored multiple articles and tends to deal especially with both pre-Alexander and post-Alexander (early Hellenistic, including the infamous dating dramas there).
Philip II, the Father of Alexander the Great: Themes and Issues, is the title. Link goes to the Amazon page for it.
Given it's Ed's work, I expect it to be well-cited and steeped in knowledge of the current academic literature.
