The list below is an ongoing project, as much for our internal musing as for external reference. The links should work and we hope you will tell us when they don't.
Also, tell us when you know another source we should list here or on another page. But, the various notations are just for our reference and often will be meaningless to you.
Authors want their books reviewed. Our object here is to create a way for authors/publishers to quickly contact review media. It ain't always easy from here in Tokyo.

The above list is a work in progress. We are contacting each publisher by email (when we can find an email address) to correct and improve listings. New listings will also be added. The purpose of this page is to provide info on possible REVIEW sources for the authors and publishers with whom we work. The following email (or similar) is being sent to each email address listed in order to verify the address and point of contact:

Hello,

We are distributors in Tokyo working with authors and publishers of English books that are published in/on Japan and East Asia. We have listed your publication in our list of publications that review books or that are excellent book info sources. The skeleton list is now online at http://imcbook.net/REMEMBER/bookreviewsource.htm. We are currently working with (a) a Canadian author in Japan who has just published a 600-page novel, (b) the musician author of an about-to-be-published book on the "shakuhachi" (Japanese flute), (c) a new book of poetry by author, editor, yoga teacher Leza Lowitz. Our website is rather basic but has much info at http://imcbook.net.

Thanks, Warren Ball
