Titles for review
Books are selected for their potential interest to a broad spectrum of libraries. Only a few areas of publishing fall outside LJ's scope: textbooks, children's books, very technical or specialized works (particularly those directed at a professional audience), and books in languages other than English. We do, however, consider bilingual editions.
