Hello everyone Book reviews in our lace publications are an important link between the lacemaker and the lace book author. Accordingly, the person who reviews the book would write positive, objective remarks on behalf of the author, for the benefit of the reader. Most of us I think prefer to decide on a book purchase after examining it for real, not always possible! The book review is next best.
When an author/publisher sends a book to be reviewed, contact and purchase details are part of the review in the lace organization's magazine, bulletin, or newsletter. If your group has indexed their magazine articles, book review details can be found this way. Alex wrote: "I always send out review copies that are kept by the societies. It would be nice to know that they would keep my details on file and pass them on when requested. Perhaps they could be encouraged to compile lists by their members requesting information." And I agree. If your lace group doesn't have an index or reference for the book reviews, ask them. If contact details for a lace book author change, I'm sure a note to one's review list would be printed in the respective publications in their book review section. The book review helps a lace book author sell books, the lacemaker needs to know how to acquire them. We all win.
