About...TechBookReport

Readers

TechBookReport aims to provide independent, interesting and informative book reviews for developers, technologists and the plain geeky. This site is not linked to any publisher or author. This is a hype-free zone, and bad books deserve to be outed. Links to online bookshops do not influence the reviews - if something is not worth buying then reviewers are encouraged to say so. On the other hand if something is so good that life is meaningless without it then reviewers are encouraged to say that too. If you know how this site can be improved then drop us a line.

Publishers/Authors

If you would like to propose a book for review please send an email and, if the title is considered suitable, arrangements will be made to route the book to an appropriate reviewer. Please note that TechBookReport is not interested in fiction, poetry, biography, religion, astrology or other pseudo-science. Please take a look at our existing content first. The list of publishers who have supported us with review materials is here

All quotes and links to content should be attributed to TechBookReport or TechBookReport.com

Reviewers

If you wish to review a title for TechBookReport, or have written a review already, please take a look at some of the existing content to familiarise yourself with our house style. Reviews should be interesting, grammatically correct (or as near as can be expected for a developer audience...), informative and about the book being reviewed. Illiterate gibberish will be laughed at scornfully. Literate gibberish may be acceptable.
