Additionally, a prospective reviewer may contact the book review editor to suggest a title for assignment that is not on the list of available titles. Reviews that are unsolicited and arrive without assignment will be returned.
To be considered as a reviewer, send an email request with your current C.V. to the book review editor (below). Preference is given to NCAH members in assigning reviews. We encourage prospective reviewers to consider joining the NCAH.
We do not accept reviews that are published elsewhere in print or electronically.
