BookPage

From traditional book reviews and author interviews to [http://www.bookpagebuzz.blogspot.com a blog] and [http://www.bookletters.com e-newsletter services] , BookPage has become one of the United States' most popular sources of new book evaluations and news for librarians, booksellers, readers, and publishers, covering some 100 new works of fiction, nonfiction, children's books, and audiobooks in each issue. BookPage is a selection guide, recommending the best in new books each month.

Created by book industry veteran Michael Zibart in 1988, [See company profile and history [http://www.bookpage.com/companyprofile.html here] ] BookPage proved that selling mass quantities of a quality monthly book review to bookstores and libraries so they could give them free to readers benefited everyone.

Libraries, which are government-sponsored in the United States, looked upon offering the free review as a service to readers, since it consistently chronicled a broad range of general-interest books. Bookstore owners found BookPage helped readers find books they, too, wanted to read--and were willing to buy.

Today, BookPage is distributed in more than 3,500 libraries and bookstores across the United States [See [http://www.bookpage.com/locations/bookpage_locations.pdf here] for a current subscriber list] and is considered one of the nation's top ten reviews. Among authors whose books have been reviewed are Jennifer Cruisie, Eric Jerome Dickey, Tess Gerritsen, John Grisham, Nick Hornby, John Lescroart, Gayle Lynds, Norman Mailer, David McCullough, Michael Palmer,James Patterson, Amanda Quick, Nora Roberts and Luis Alberto Urrea.
