If you would like to review one of these books for the BASA newsletter,
please let me know. We do not pay reviewers, but you get to kept the book!

I should perhaps explain that some publishers send us books without my
requesting them. 

If you know of books we should review, please let me know.

 

With my thanks,

Marika Sherwood, book reviews editor
