As of the 2009 issue, Annali  lists in the annual volume all the reviews, including titles of books and names of reviewers, and will paginate all the reviews as they would appear in print, with consecutive page numbers. The reviews, however, will appear only online, where the entire section of reviews (Bookshelf) is already available as of 1998.
