Book Reviews

The Canadian Bookplates Blog is dedicated to the promotion of the hobby of collecting and researching bookplates, book collectors, ex libris, book, ephemera, and library history of all countries.  Though my primary focus is on Canada, I am always interested in the bookplates and book culture of other countries around the world.

The review pile never stops growing!
I  run this blog to promote the hobby.  In my professional career I have served as the editor in chief of a major academic journal for over seven years, and I am an editorial board member of five other academic and scholarly journals.  I have been reviewing both academic and commercial press books for nearly twenty years on a wide range of subjects in the arts and humanities.

If you are an author or a publisher and you would like us to announce and review your publication, please do not hesitate to get in touch here for details on where to send review copies of your publications.  Your email should include your name, the author's name and title of the publication, as well as any other important publication information that will help us decide if your book is appropriate for review here.

Please be advised that as per industry standard, we don't not buy review copies.  Authors and publishers seeking to promote their materials must be prepared to send a review copy gratis.

Authors and publishers are guaranteed a pdf document and web link of any books reviewed by our site.  As well, publishers and authors are free to use these reviews for their own further marketing provided that Canadian bookplates is credited as the reviewer.

With thousands of visitors to the website Canadian bookplates is fast becoming the place to promote your publication on any aspect of the hobby.  Many thanks for your interest in my website and I look forward to hearing from you.
