About the Reviews and the Reviewers Bill Godfrey began the book reviews and commentaries in 1991. The reviews were established on a subscription basis in late1995 and are now being further expanded at this site. The great majority of the reviews on the database have been written by Bill. The review team is now being expanded progressively by building up an international review panel and an advisory panel.
Advisers provide expertise in particular topic areas and advise on books to be included.
