Reviewer Scorecard

Updated March 9, 2009

We like books! We really like them!

As you can see from the newly updated Reviewer Scorecard, a good percentage of the books we’ve reviewed received good or better grades and recommendations. This Scorecard puts our staff and their grades into perspective and, when combined with our Staff Profiles, should assist in helping readers find reviewers with whom they are most in tune.

The Scorecard is updated for current reviewers only, but we’ve also included those who’ve had reviews published since the last update in July of 2008.

Thanks to AAR’s resident stats pro, LinnieGayl Kimmel, for putting together the new Reviewer Scorecard. She’ll be providing these updates three times a year.
