- Description
- Provides citations to more than five million book reviews, drawn from a core of about 700 magazines
and journals (including
both popular and scholarly titles), supplemented by hundreds of other magazines on an apparently
more occasional basis.
More than 600,000 of the citations also include the full text of the reviews. Searching is possible
by author or title of
the book under review, or by the journal in which the review appeared. Advanced Search allows
combining author, title, and
journal, and also permits searching by reviewer, illustrator, publisher, and additional limiting
by length of review,
refereed journals only, date, and full-text reviews. Citations can be marked for printing or
e-mailing. Also includes
reviews of audio books, e-books, and periodicals.
