We are also soliciting reviews of books about blogging and your favorite weblogs.
Feel free to propose other topics to the editors: Michael Benton (University of Kentucky; editor for Reconstruction; founder of the blog Dialogic) and Nick Lewis (founder of the Progressive Bloggers’ Alliance and the collective blog NetPolitik). Send all queries, proposals and manuscripts to mdbento@gmail.com

I'm sure Dan Green of The Reading Experience would be happy to provide you with an excellent review if needed. If there's anyone who is worthy of receiving free books it is him.
