New Magazine for Book Lovers
Bookmarks, "Your Guide to the Best in Books" Publishes Debut Issue
So what's your favorite book?Bookmarks magazine was created for readers as a guide to the best in books - from the latest releases to time-honored classics. Each issue contains:
* a comprehensive look at new books, rated and discussed by researching all the major book reviews,
* profiles of historical authors with overviews of their entire bodies of work, and
* eclectic reading suggestions from well-known authors and booksellers as well as from fellow readers.
Bookmarks is a great way to supplement your reading list, jumpstart your search for a new book, and continue your immersion in our culture-a culture captured in books both past and present.
"Our philosophy is to balance critical consensus with unique opinions. The New Books Guide included in every issue is created by studying all the book critic's reviews appearing in major newspapers, magazines, and the Internet. That's hundreds of reviews compiled in each issue! The end result contains an overview of all that's new in the world of books, rated on a 5-star system. We take a similar consensus-oriented approach with our author profiles, sifting through years of critical reviews and responses to create a more complete set of perspectives on that author's body of work."
"At the same time, the magazine is full of individual voices-not only those of critics we quote, but of authors and readers discussing their personal favorites, across a wide variety of subjects."
"The journey of our culture is reflected in its books-whether in the latest piece of literary fiction, a political treatise, or a timeless classic. Each inspires conversation-one we aim to capture through quotes from critics and letters from readers. A small number of these books capture the public's imagination-in each issue we take a special in-depth look at these newly significant books, summarizing important themes, critical disagreements, and reader's responses. Whether past or present, we provide the most complete and thoughtful coverage of these milestone works."
