Reviews

[MELISSIA LENOX · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Algonquin Reader provides sneak previews (summaries and excerpts) of their publications. I find the Reader essential in choosing new books to purchase or borrow, mostly because I have been well rewarded with those books introduced to me in its pages. I strongly recommend that every true book-lover at least peruse Algonquin's free Readers which are published at four (4) Times per year. A trustworthy, informative example of how a publisher forges a loyal and beneficial bond with its readership.
