This is the first of an ongoing series of "Box of Books" pages. One of my book review editors sent me a box of books to consider for reviews. There were many more than I could handle in a timely fashion, and we had to pass on a number of very good books. Our decision was based on many factors that went beyond quality. So please do not interpret our decision not to review these books as a negative statement about their quality.
Instead, follow the links below to the Amazon.com site, where you can discover a number of published and reader reviews. The books are listed alphabetically by title.
Reader reviews of these titles would be appreciated. See our site guidelines to learn about our submission process.
