So, you want to review books for H-AMSTDY, eh? We'd love to have you volunteer. Here are a few general requirements:
- You should be at least an ABD
- You should only accept books to review that fall into your field of specialization, or those where you are comfortably familiar with the subject literature. Remember that you will be placing into print format-for anyone with an internet connection and the desire-a review of something that took the author years of work. You should feel that you have a baseline competence in the field.
OK. So, what do you need to do? Please contact the review editor for your specialization.
