I do not accept PDF files or eBooks.

My goal is to give a courteous and honest review, while bearing in mind the intention of the author and the intended audience.

I will not post a review if I do not have good things to say about the book. As an author, I'm interested in attracting people to good books, not discouraging potential readers.

I do not give a star/number rating.
