AIAS Books for Review Program


Books for Review Program
Members interested in reading and reviewing books can receive free books for doing so. Here is how it works: After we receive a $25.00 deposit from you, and upon availability, we will forward to you the requested book (see below). Upon completing the book, you are encouraged to write a review (suggested length is 700 to 1000 words; in MS Word). If you send the review to the AIAS you will be reimbursed for the total amount of the deposit (which makes the book free!). If you do a really great job of writing the review we will consider publishing it in Crit, Journal of the AIAS.

Send the deposit (make check payable to the "AIAS") and review (on a CD) to:

AIAS
Attention: Book Review Program
1735 New York Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20006-5292

Or you may email the review to mailbox@aias.org. Please call us at 202.626.7472 if you have any questions. Be sure to include your AIAS membership number with your request.
