Book Reviews

The ICLQ welcomes offers of book reviews.

For guidance on writing a book review for the ICLQ, please see our Book Review Guidance .

If you already have a copy of the book you wish to review, please simply upload your completed review via the ScholarOne platform: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/iclq

If you wish to request a review copy, please email the Managing Editor Anna Riddell-Roberts with full details of your suggested review title, including a brief biography indicating your suitability to review the book and your postal address. If the book is one we wish to have reviewed, a copy will be requested from the publisher for you. Your completed review should still be submitted via ScholarOne.

Book Review Guidance

Reviews should normally address the following issues:

1. The structure and contents of the book.

2. The intended target audience of the book.

3. What is the overall perspective adopted/argument advanced by the book?

4. How does this perspective/argument add to the body of existing literature in the field?

5. How convincing is the argument(s) set out by the author? A reviewer might want to subject a specific chapter(s) to more detailed analysis in the light of the book's overall argument. Are there any major/minor omissions that impede/weaken the overall argument made in the book?

6. Issues of style - how clearly written/accessible is the book? (bearing in mind target audience) - how accurate is the factual material relied upon in support of the main arguments?

7. Does the author succeed in doing what he/she set out to do? How is the book likely to be viewed by members of the target audience?
