Amazon.com Review:
Sold each week both separately and as part of the Sunday New York Times, the Book Review divides the published world into two parts for easy consumption: nonfiction, and fiction and poetry. There is no attempt to be comprehensive. Although scholarly books are regularly reviewed, the sort of thing chosen is likely to be no more arcane than a cultural history of Halloween or a new biography of Jesse James, along with, say, the memoirs of David Rockefeller. The reader of the Book Review can also expect to find the latest novel by Joyce Carol Oates or Pat Conroy as well as the efforts of one or two first novelists and the new book of poems by Billy Collins. What distinguishes the reviews from those of your hometown Sunday newspaper are principally three things: there are more of them (each issue runs some 20 pages), they are likely to be more searching and more critical (often the reviewers are at least as well-known as the authors reviewed), and each review has behind it the authority of the New York Times itself, whose cultural as well as political clout is simply unmatched in American life. For a book to sell, it doesnt necessarily have to be considered in the Book Review. For a book to be taken seriously,it probably does--and readers who take themselves seriously invariably read the Book Review. --Terry Caesar
Product Description:
Discusses current literary trends in several features about books and authors: paperback talk, spring and fall review of new books, and children's and Christmas issues.

- Don't deal with this company.
Horrible company. Don't deal with this company. I never got an issue. They make it very difficult to get a refund.

- A portal to current fiction and non-fiction
I've been a subscriber for nearly ten years, and I find in each issue many reviews that spark my interest.I think of the Book Review as a portal to contemporary, well-written fiction and non-fiction, and as a guide to how best to spend my reading time.Without a doubt, the best books I read every year I find in the NYBR.
Rating: - "Best Gift Ever"
I buy this for my husband each year for his birthday. He claims it's the best birthday gift he receives, and devours each issue as it comes to our mailbox. Very addictive -- if you love books!
Rating: - Still waiting...
It's been 6 weeks since I placed my order and I have yet to receive my first issue. I contacted Magazine Express to inquire about my order and they never responded.
