Product Description

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 doesn?t 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

 "Best Gift Ever" May 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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!

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.

disgraceful service October 17, 2007

It is disgraceful that, five weeks after placing my order, I have not yet received the first copy of this publication. I placed an order for the Economist magazine and received the first copy a week later.
KEEPING UP WITH THE BEST BOOKS PUBLISHED May 12, 2007
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
I AM HOOKED ON THIS MAGAZINE AND DON'T HAVE TO GET THE ENTIRE NEW YORK TIMES TO ENJOY IT. I CAN READ THE REVIEWS AND ARTICLES ON THE LATEST BOOKS AND THEIR AUTHORS AND MAKE MY MUST-READ LIST. EACH DELIVERY, I LOOK FORWARD TO MANY PAGES OF INTERESTING READING PLUS KEEP AN EYE ON THE BEST SELLER LISTS PROVIDED. I'D FEEL DEPRIVED WITHOUT THE SUNDAY NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW 52 ISSUES A YEAR.
