About 100,000 new books are published each year, and that's just in the USA. How many of these do you have time to read?
Let's say you read one book a week, in a year you'll read about fifty titles, or about 1 out of every 1,200 books. How do you choose which tiny fraction to read?
Some people select books based on other people's opinions (whether it be reading newspaper reviews or taking a recommendation from a friend); others visit the bookstore to see what's new; most of us do a combination of both.
The downside of reading reviews is that you have to take that single person's word for it - you can't browse the book itself, as you would if you were in a bookstore. However, the problem about visiting so many bookstores, on and offline, is that there's no one available to guide you through the overwhelming selection.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a place where you could read the opinions of multiple reviewers and browse the book itself? Well, as you might have guessed there is - and you've already found it - BookBrowse.com.
BookBrowse does the legwork for you. Every week we scour newspapers, magazines, and web sites in the USA and worldwide, to find out which books are getting the buzz, both in the publishing world and in the consumer press, and then we feature the best of these at BookBrowse.com. Most importantly, we don't expect you to take our word for it, instead we re-print a substantial excerpt of each and every book, plus succinct reviews from a variety of established media sources.
In addition to the excerpt and reviews, you can browse the book jacket synopsis and author biography plus, in many cases, a reading guide and interview.
We don't sell books, so we don't have a vested interest in pushing only 'bestsellers', Instead we look for an eclectic, informative and interesting selection of titles, from established writers to first time authors, from history to mystery, from current affairs to romantic affairs, and a bit of everything in between.
So, if you don't have the time or inclination to search through every book on the shelf to find the few diamonds in the rough - visit BookBrowse.com and test drive the next great book that you're going to read!
