Publisher’s Description: Black Issues Book Review offers the widest range of book reviews on trends and personalities in black publishing and the most comprehensive listings of available books to African American adults and children.

Within months of its January 1999 debut, Black Issues Book Review (BIBR) was named one of “the best new magazines” by The American Library Journal from more than a thousand new publications.

BIBR brings to its readers an insider’s view of the world of literature.

Each issue contains features on contemporary subjects, resource information for reading clubs, self-publishing, art, inspirational and motivational books, children’s books, poetry, author events, workshops, conferences, trade shows, and a bestsellers list.

Black Issues Book Review’s distribution and circulation play an important role in its mission. BIBR’s magazines are distributed through national book retailers, Independent African American bookstores, national store chains, historically black colleges and universities, literary groups and at a variety of cultural events.

Black Issues Book Review remains committed to serving authors, reviewers, publishers and readers with excellence.
