Use this form to submit your book review to JOM. You will be notified within two weeks of submitting the review as to its acceptability for publication. Please note, however, that even if a review is of publication quality, the editor reserves the right to decide when, how, and even if the review will be used.

Please read the following guidelines prior to submitting your review.

• Do not provide a mere rehash of the books table of contents.
• The length of your review is limited to 500-750 words.
• The review must consist of a critique that analyzes the timeliness, merit, structure, content, and overall value of the volume.
• The review should define the technical scope of the book, although you are encouraged to elaborate on selected chapters or points that you find to be of special interest. As possible, compare the book to other recognized literature on the same subject.
• Additionally, recommend an audience for the book (e.g., is it a textbook or is it better suited for the skilled practitioner?).
• Provide a few words on the quality of the printing (Are the figures readable? Is the format appropriate? Is the text too small?).
