Wouldn't it be a great idea to have forum members give their reviews of the book that has been featured in the latest newsletter? I honestly do not know what to make of so many "Amazon" type reviews, some of which are hyper-critical of the author to an unacceptable degree, yet others who sound like "professional" reviewers who "review" anything by skimming pages and rehashing table of contents. Much like that old adage that says don't judge a book by its covers, I'm tempted to say don't judge a book by its reviews. To be fair, in between these, there are a few helpful reviews. I'm sure that members of this forum who are mainly practitioners in the field will have many useful, helpful comments, on the books featured and newbies like me can profit greatly from their reviews.
Anyone else for the idea?

Sounds like a good idea. I sure wouldn't mind getting good reviews from people using the information produced.
