Reviews are excellent sources of information providing synopsis of a book and an author’s writing style. For years, book reviews have made authors, historians, researchers, and many public figures notable by highlighting what makes their work stand out to the reader. Large publishing companies and newspaper outlets dedicate sections to book reviews and shed new light on different subjects.
My reviews cover a range of publications and different topics. You’ll find reviews of books not only from my library (a recent tabulation showed there were over 700 so there’s plenty to get through) but also recent publications on history, culture, anthropology, and other literature. If you think there’s a book that ought to be on the list, or would like to submit your own send me a message and we’ll chat!
For more information on the book’s availability in your local library, visit WorldCat.org.
