Reviewing POD

Occasionally I get a Google Alert notice [great service, by the way] about a mention of this blog somewhere on the internet.  This morning I learned that the blog has been included on a “blogroll” of links to sites about books and writing.  I tracked it back to a couple of very interesting blogs that self-published writers should know about.  Each specializes in reviews of books published by Print-on-Demand publishers.

First, I discovered The Lulu Book Review, which has linked to this blog.  I never knew such a site existed.  And what a great idea and service it is.  This anonymous blogger writes lengthy and very detailed reviews, choosing only from books published by Lulu Press.  He’s already up to review 52.  If you ever consider publishing via Lulu, you simply must check out this review blog.  In fact, any POD author should take a look.  The “How It Works” page explains just how the blogger chooses books to review — he very methodical about it.  And the Who Am I page shares the interesting history behind this blog.

Rummaging through the Lulu review site, I came across some comments by another blogger who’s up to the same thing.  Floyd Orr started out by reviewing books published by iUniverse, but now he’s opened up to review books from any POD publisher.  His review blog is called POD Book Reviews and More.  Another great resource that writers should know about.
