I have the following books available for review in Informer, courtesy of our good friends at Springer. The usual rules apply, i.e. you’ll need to turn the review around in ~2 weeks, so I need people who are happy to commit to that schedule. But in return you get to keep the book, and have your review published in Informer. So it’s a pretty good deal really. For an example of what the reviews typically look like, check out the latest edition.
If you’re interested, drop me a line with your full contact details via the IRSG inbox (irsg AT bcs.org).
