Visit one of our publishers' websites and find a book you'd enjoy. Contact Paula and place your order with the book number, author, book title and publisher: it will be ordered and brought in for you to review. Read and write a review in 90 days, post the review in 3 places (1 - the publisher’s website or their requested place. 2 -   the SSAUG website. 3 - Amazon.com) and receive the book as a thank you.

Book Reviews and Educational Opportunities:
We now have a coordinator for our Book Review Program. Participating vendors are listed below. Our membership is encouraged to review books that they have an interest in. For their timely review they are given the book. Paula Varner will be coordinating this venture.

Focal Press:
" All we request is that the person doing the review replies to us with a link to their unbiased and honest review within 90 days of receiving the book (posting the review in a newsletter, on a web page or online bookseller site). We love to hear feedback from the serious users and readers of our books - the good and the bad. We are constantly striving to make our content as useful and informative as possible, and your feedback can assist us in this endeavor." focalusergroups@elsevier.com
