Group submission address: book-reviews@colorado.edu Moderator contact address: brock@ucsub.colorado.edu (Steve Brock) For your newsgroups file: rec.arts.books.reviews Book reviews. (Moderated) The charter, culled from the call for votes: The purpose of this group is to carry reviews of books. A review consists of commentary on a book by someone who has read the book designed to help those who have not read it make an informed decision as to whether or not to do so. This newsgroup will be a moderated group. The following materials will appear in the group: - Reviews of written works - Descriptions of reviewer philosophy or background The following are not appropriate for the group: - Discussion of books - Announcements of book availability - Advertisements and promotional materials - Requests that a particular book be reviewed Reviewers who have a financial interest in the books they review should state this fact in their reviews. Moderator: The moderator will be Steve Brock . The backup moderator will be Danny Yee . The submissions address is book-reviews@colorado.edu. There is no special contact address. Moderation policy: The function of moderation is to ensure that only reviews and related materials appear in the group. - Reviews must contain some details. For example, "XXX is a great book!" is not a review. - Posts will never be rejected on the basis of relevant content, but the moderator would reject (for example) a post that pretended to be a book review of _Lord of the Rings_ but was actually an excuse for an anti-Armenian diatribe. - A review MUST clearly indicate the title, author and publisher of the book. A book review SHOULD contain the length, publication date, ISBN, price, and subject or keywords. The more bibliographic data the better. No specific format will be required for this data, though some format may be encouraged. - Posters should crosspost reviews into rec.arts.books and other relevant groups. Followups should be directed to the appropriate group(s) (rec.arts.books if nowhere else is suitable). The moderator may modify the Followup-To: header if necessary, perhaps after consultation with the author. - Reviews by people with vested interests will be permitted provided that they are substantive and that reviewers make explicit any financial connection they have with the subject of their review.
