The best way to get books to us is through the U. S. Postal Service. Books that you want us to review should be addressed to:

NOTE: We cannot handle books sent electronically. If you have an on-line book, we ask that you send us one chapter as e-mail, not as an attachment. If we like it, we will arrange with you to ship the rest of it in an appropriate fashion.

We have traditionally been receptive to any and all types of books, no matter the subject, whether fiction or non-fiction, whether elaborately or simply designed.

We are not concerned with that literary fiction called publication date, an anachronistic hold-over from the days when it took a year-and-a-half of planning for a book to get in print and into the bookstores. All we are concerned with is the date the book was or will be printed and available to the public.

It is our belief that with more than 60,000 titles being published in the United States each year --- with even more coming in from abroad --- many fine and worthy books slip through the cracks.

Therefore, if you or your publishing company put out a book many months or even a couple of years ago, and if no one seemed to notice, please feel free to send a new copy to us so we can look at it.

At the same time, we ask that you remember that we cannot, as much as we would love to, review all the books sent in to us.

You can, however, assist us with our assessment of your book by including a clearly printed one-page sheet with the following information:

• Title;
• Author's name;
• Publisher's name, address and contact person (address, telephone number, e-mail address);
• Planned printing and distribution date;
• Price and ordering information, including name of distributors (if any);
• A brief (one page) summary of the contents of the book, along with a brief biography of the author and --- if available --- copies of reviews of this book or his or her previous books.

You can send us pre-publication authors' copy, proofs, or the final printed copy.

Please understand, that book review magazines receive dozens of mailings of books every week. Therefore, again, we ask your indulgence. If the book is worthy, we'll try our damndest to get it reviewed and online ASAP.
