In order to search efficiently for book reviews, you will need to know the exact title of the book, the full name of the author, and the year the book was first published.
Most reviews appear at the time a book is published or during the first year or two thereafter.
Whether you are searching in print or electronic sources, be certain the index you are searching covers the appropriate years for your book. This lists reviews from about 90 periodicals. To find reviews, locate the volume for the year your book was published and then look under the author s last name. Entries include a short description of the book, references to reviews, and excerpts from some reviews. Each annual volume also has a title index and a subject index at the back of the volume.
