I am selectively accepting books for review keeping in view the expected lead time of 3 to 4 months. And some books are not progressing well and so are kept aside after being taken up.
Pl. keep watching this page for updates.
Thanks for understanding.
Regards.
Swamy
Right now, I prefer to work on Books in the fields of Psychology, Health, Spirituality/Religion, Self-Help, Management and Technical Books (in areas of Basic Science, Popular Science, Materials Science, Materials Testing, Quality Management, Computers etc.). But I am open to review books in other areas too, including Fiction (SF, Children's Books, Fantasy etc.). I am a Scientist and a Metallurgist by academic qualification. I am a writer with an eye for Quality. I am comfortable with PC, MS Office etc.
The book review will appear at

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goodbookz
Bookpleasures.com
Shelfari.com
Gather.com
Goodreads.com
Amazon.com
as also at a few other sites. I will give you the URLs of the groups, blogs, and sites where the review appears and I would also request you to set up google alerts so that you know when and where the review is posted. In case of books received through other channels, I will also send the review to the concerned and will give a link or URL to that review.
If possible, I will also submit the review (with some modifications) to Amazon.com also
In the case of health books, the review will also be shared with many Yahoo Groups of which I am owner, moderator and member. The total membership of those groups exceeds 10,000 and many if not most of the members are in US and Canada! Keep that mind while evaluating the use of sending a book to India spending about 20 US dollars or so.
For post-publication Book Reviews, I prefer printed books, since my review includes comment on the finish, get up, paper quality, print quality etc. If you want to send me a book for pre-publication review, i.e. where the review becomes a part of the book, pl. contact me and send me the .doc or .pdf file.
Please note that all my review services are free.
Please browse the reviews arranged subject wise in the other pages of this site. Thanks for visiting. Feel free to give your feed-back in the guestbook.
