10. Can people ask for reviews of certain books? (rec.arts.books.reviews)
They may do so in rec.arts.books or alt.books.reviews, but if the
book isn't new, a certain title probably won't have a very good
chance of being reviewed. Also, if there is any sort of deadline
involved for the review of a new book, it's better not to ask.
Publishers try to have review copies ready, but even if they are,
the U.S. mail, the processing time, the reading time, and the
writing time cause a lag. So ask away, but don't keep your fingers
crossed. Those looking for a review of a certain title, and not
finding a review in rec.arts.books.reviews or the archive, may look
in the "Book Review Index" or "Book Review Digest" in the reference
section of their nearest academic or public library. "Book Review
Index" is also available via Dialog, for those who have passwords.
