We deeply appreciate your help in writing reviews for books in the stlwebdev.org library. In addition to helping other members quickly find the quality material in our library, publishers graciously give review copies to stlwebdev.org and value the feedback you give by reviewing these books.
To write a review, just send the following information to library@stlwebdev.org. You should be able to find this information in the book itself, or by finding the book listing at the publisher's Web site or at amazon.com.
It helps us if you could use this template (right-click and save the page to your computer, fill out the template and then e-mail it as an attachment) when writing your review. However, we will also accept book reviews in plain ASCII text. We will not be able to accept reviews in propietary or hard-to-use formats such as MS Word or PDF. We also reserve the right to reject incomplete or inaccurate reviews, and to edit content and formatting for consistency with our site. Finally, by submitting a review to the St. Louis Web Developers Organization, you are granting us a non-exclusive right to use that review on our Web site or in our group's activities.
Please note that we cannot accept reviews for books that are not part of the St. Louis Web Developers Organization library. We will be able to post your review after it has been checked back in to the library. Please remember that this is a volunteer-run organization. While we are generally able to publish reviews within a week of receiving them, we sometimes encounter circumstances that delay us. Your patience is appreciated.
