Free books! November Early Reviewers

LibraryThing Early Reviewers
The November batch of Early Reviewers books is now up. It's a nice varied list this time. 13 different publishers provided 24 different books, adding up to 600 copies in total.

See all the books and request the ones you'd like to review here: http://www.librarything.com/er/list.

Open to UK residents The big news this round is that we've got a publisher from the UK participating, so one book is available only to residents of the UK! We're still working on opening this up to more countries, so if you don't live in the US, Canada, or the UK, don't give up hope yet!

The deadline to request books this round is Monday, November 12th at noon EST. Check out the rules and Frequently Asked Questions, or talk about the program in the Early Reviewers group.

A big thanks to the following publishers for participating:


LibraryThing Early ReviewersTim also made up a bunch of new graphics for Early Reviewers—feel free to take them, love them, use them on your blog, proudly proclaim that you're an Early Reviewer. You can find them here: http://www.librarything.com/wiki/index.php/Early_Reviewers_Graphics

We also made the news last week—the Early Reviewer program was mentioned in November's issue of Publishing Trends ("We Won! Publishers Learn That Everyone Loves (to Talk About) a Free Book"), which was also picked up by GalleyCat. Hopefully this will bring more publishers (and thus more free books) our way.

Neat graphics! I've added one to the "about me" section of my profile, as well as on my profile page at Bookcrossing. It occurs to me, though, that it would be nice if Early Reviewers could elect to have it placed in the upper right of the profile as is done for LibraryThing authors.

Oh, and I put it on my LiveJournal, too.

Let us know as soon as this program is available to Australia ... I'm sure my own publisher would be interested.

The graphics are great! I love that block font. I added one of the banners to my profile and decided to start listing the books I've reviewed for the ER program. Thanks for the cut-n-paste HTML, too. I'm functionally illiterate in webpage design. :)

The article is interesting, though I dislike their use of quotation marks in reference to users' libraries.

@ simon

It is open to Australia. Its just that so far no Australian publishers have expressed an interest. E-mail abby at librarything dot com for more information.
