       Book Reviews   [ reviewer instructions ]

If you see a book you would like to review, make your request to Book Review Editor.

Not all of the entries have been examined to see if they are appropriate for review in the journal. If in doubt, ASK FOR THE BOOK!

REVIEW POLICY : Because of problems with a few reviewers, there is a strict review policy. Those asking to review these books are thereby agreeing to this policy. Reviewers who do not return reviews to me according to schedule with be given three options:
1) provide a review,
2) pay the going rate for the book so we can replace it, or
3) send the book back upon request.
