Guidelines for Book ReviewersWe have finite space in the journal; the number of reviews that we run depends on their cumulative length. Therefore we ask you to keep reviews to 500-600 words. Reviews of multiple books and review articles can be longer, as assigned. Please include all bibliographical information at the head of the review: Author, title, publication information, number of pages. Indicate maps, illustrations, notes, bibliography, index, etc. (to the extent that they are present), and price: cloth and/or paper, if given. (If the price is not given, please state "No price reported.")
Here is a sample: Chris Abotchie. Social Control in Traditional Southern Eweland of Ghana. Relevance for Modern Crime Prevention. Legon: Ghana Universities Press, 1997. Distributed by African Books Collective Ltd., Unit 13 Kings Meadow, Ferry Hinksey Rd., Oxford OX2 0DP. vi + 154 pp. Photographs. Bibliography. Index. $18.00. Paper.
At the end of the review, please note your name, your institution and its address (or city address if no institutional affiliation), and your e-mail address. Format Requirements:Reviews must be double-spaced, aligned left, with all margins at least 1 inch (2.5cm). Please send your review to us as a WORD or Rich Text Format (RTF) file either:
For production reasons, we ask you to avoid footnotes or endnotes and references. Review essays may include occasional notes, but please be parsimonious; in such cases do not use your word processor's footnote/endnote utility, but add the note(s) in at the end manually. Include page references for all quotations. When making parenthetical citations, please include publisher and date of publication. |
