I am, to use Richard Lederer’s term, a verbivore. Since I was a kid being scolded by my parents for reading at the table, I have loved books and reading. And since becoming involved in the public relations and social media game, I’ve been an enthusiastic reader of books that relate to what I do and what I think about. Hope you enjoy my capsule reviews. These reviews will be of books I own already, that I borrow from the library or from friends, or from books that people send to me (hint hint). I’d be happy to consider reviewing your book, but no guarantees, OK?

PUBLISHERS / AUTHORS: I would love to receive review copies of books you think relate to social media, public relations, business, communications, or the music  industry – the main topics I think and write about. Please e-mail me to ask if I’m interested first, though. If you send me two copies, I’ll give one away on the blog via a contest.

I’m also going to try being an affiliate of Amazon, so please feel free to buy through me. Who says you can’t monetize the Web?!
