I'm pleased to inform you that the Midwest Book Review was established in 1976. I serve as the Editor-in-Chief, Diane Donovan is the West Coast Editor, and as of this writing there are 70+ volunteer reviewers.
We publish book review magazines online each month, including: The Internet Bookwatch, The Children's Bookwatch, The California Bookwatch, The Small Press Bookwatch, The Reviewer's Bookwatch, and The MBR Bookwatch. These publications are posted on our Midwest Book Review website at www.midwestbookreview.com and other places on the internet. They are also sent to a 300+ email subscriber list. Subscription to these electronic publications is free.
Additionally, I provide an 'on-air' book review commentary for KNLS short wave radio in Anchor Point, Alaska. This monthly 'KNLS Bookwatch' is broadcast to Europe, North and South America, and the Pacific Rim.
I serve as the Acquisitions Consultant for Dane County Library Services (responsible for 52 southern Wisconsin community library systems).
The Midwest Book Review is contracted to provide all of our reviews to Gale Research Company, (Farmington Hills, MI) each month on a computer disk for their interactive CD-ROM series (Book Review Index) which is published four times a year for corporate, academic, and public library systems.
This is in addition to the Gale Research Company also making our reviews available to library systems nationwide in their print, magnetic tape, and diskette series.
We also post all our reviews on thematically appropriate internet discussion groups such as alt.books.reviews and rec.arts.comics.reviews.
Our reviews are made available to internet bookstores such as Amazon.com.
We also maintain a Midwest Book Review web site on the World Wide Web where all of our reviews are posted for five months and which also features 'hot-links' to publishers who have their own web sites, as well as other internet resources of interest to the general reading public.
The Midwest Book Review e-mail address is mbr@execpc.com
If I can be of service to you as a reader, writer or publisher, please don't hesitate to ask.
Sincerely,
James A. Cox Editor-in-Chief Midwest Book Review 278 Orchard Drive, Oregon, WI 53575 www.midwestbookreview.com 1-608-835-7937
Learning how to read is the most important skill young readers gain. "How Jill Learned to Read Using Phonics" is an educational guide to help young readers gain a better grasp of reading through innovative techniques from teachers. Filled with ideas and tips to help young people read, "How Jill Learned to Read Using Phonics" is certainly something to consider for educators.
One failure doesn't mean the second will fail. "Successful Second Marriages: Interviews with Nine Couples Who Have Achieved Success in Their Remarriage" is a collection of essays from those who have faced failed marriages and found love once more and it seems to be working this time. Designed as an inspiration for those who have loved then lost, "Successful Second Marriages" is an inspiration to ex-husbands and wives everywhere.
The best stories have basis in reality. "Leviathan's Master: The Wreck of the World's Largest Sailing Ship" is drawn from the history of the T.W. Lawson, dramatized and fictionalized by David M. Quinn drawing on his great uncle's stories. The T.W. Lawson was the biggest oil tanker of its time, and Captain Dow was faced with guiding it across the Atlantic. But Mother Nature never goes quietly into the night. "Leviathan's Master" is quite the naval novel adventure, and is worth the read.
