Company Profile

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

Company History

Wordtrade began as a print newsletter for bookstores and libraries.

Reviewing Policy:

We are concentrating upon getting our philosophy and religion sections on line. We have also revamped our editorial policies. If we deem a book a serious work of scholarship or just a good read, we will feature it  on both its subject page for a permanent post and temporarily on our new list pages. If you find a review of a title you will want to link to again it is best to link to our permanent theme pages.

Our reviews rely upon the content of the book to tell you what the book is about. We reproduce summary excerpts from some titles so you may get a feel for the author's style and the contents of the book. We do make editorial revisions and deletions that are not noted in our copy. After all our reviews are meant to attract readers to the volume and are not meant to substitute for reading the volume. We also rely upon publicity write-ups, but try to tone down the blanket superlatives.

We do rely upon reviewers for basic feedback on the titles we suggest. We find it is harder than expected to get timely copy from people but will continue to provide you with solid information about recent titles as soon as possible.

Three levels of reviews:  

1. Notices are brief description of new titles arranged by subject area.
2. Reviews are detailed description of book’s contents.
3. Essays are polemical appraisals of selected titles grouped together. These are signed by contributor.

Word Trade is an Amazon.com Associate

Wordtrade adds links to Amazon.com catalogue to facilitate ease of ordering, if you decide to purchase a title you read about on our pages. Yes, it is true, we do receive a small fee if you choose to purchase through Amazon, whereas the other stores we suggest owe us nothing.

We still want you consider buying primarily from your local bookstore. As much as I like to browse the net for new sources of information. I usually do not learn enough about a possible book by just reading about it. I want to look at it to decide if I want to read it myself. If we do not patronize our local independent bookstores, they will not be able to stay open for us to visit. I would miss them terribly. So consider where you spend your precious bucks on books.
