Company Profile

Based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Wordtrade is a national review of recently published books, audiobooks, interactive media, and online text services.

The Monthly Wordtrade.com Newsletter provides a summary of titles featured in emails and at news groups. Not all books reviewed are featured in the newsletter.

Company History

Wordtrade began as a print newsletter for bookstores and libraries in 1993. As information has become increasingly electronic, Wordtrade ceased print subscription services and has become an open source for new information and original contents about recent books, specializing in religion, science and philosophy titles but also covering select titles of general interest.

We also have links to tarothermeneutics.com specialty site and carolinabookbeat.com which features our radio broadcasts, podcasts of book reviews on WCOMfm.org
