For those authors/publishers that would like to have a
book review on Thaibirding.com as part of their publicity
campaign I will be happy to receive hard copies of publications
that are related to the content of this website; reviews of
content-related books are beneficial to the readers of this
website and to the authors/publishers with books to promote.
I am open to receiving books from both publishing companies
and self-published authors, so long as the content is relevant
to the subject matter of Thaibirding.com, be that an ornithological
publication related to the birds of Thailand, a field guide
relating to Thailand or nearby countries or travel guides
relating to the region.
As a book-lover I enjoy holding a book in the hand and seeing
it on the shelf and as such I am only prepared to review books
that I am sent a hard copy of. I spend a lot of time working
on a digital screen and have no interest in reading digital
versions of books no matter how convenient that medium may
be to birders in the field. I know that is old-fashioned,
but that is the way I prefer to deal with reviews.
Create a full review of your book linked from the Book
Reviews section of Thaibirding.com.
After I have read your book I will write an honest review
of it. I will not be rude about any book I receive this way
but equally I will not create a good review just because I
have received a courtesy copy of a book. I will always try
to focus upon any positive aspects I see in any book I receive,
but I will also politely talk about anything I don't like
about it. In short I will create an honest review but be neither
rude nor scathing.
Contact me if you would like your book to be reviewed on
Thaibirding.com
Please contact me, via email, with the details of any book
that you would like reviewing. Please let me know the title,
subject matter and anything else I need to know about the
book then if I think it is suitable for the contant of this
website I will provide an address to which to send it - nickupton@thaibirding.com
