Based on my research, publishers routinely sent copies to magazines and newspapers in hopes of getting a "notice" (brief listing) or a "review". <br /><br />As today, some publications are eager for material and simply copied the supplied "press release" or prewritten review/summary.<br /><br />Sometimes, however, the editors decided to actually read the book and write their own review. American Boy magazine did this once to a Dave Porter volume. When Stratemeyer complained about the review, the editor's defense was that he was sent a copy to review. Thereafter Stratemeyer directed all of his publishers to refrain from sending any review copies to American Boy.<br /><br />James Keelinekeelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006640946874012637noreply@blogger.com
