Support Your Local Independent Bookstore

California Review of Books appreciates the bookstores in our communities and encourages you to support your local independent bookshop. Our links connect to bookshop.org, a website that partners with independent booksellers across the country. CRB receives a small percentage of sales through this site.

California Review of Books offers readers smart, concise and timely reviews of new books, along with regular reviews of older books that we think deserve another look. While we will consider reviewing any good book published anywhere in the world, we admit to having a special fondness for work published in our home state. As we say: Our hearts are in California, but our interests are everywhere. More about us here.
