Reviews

All in all, an interesting and well-organised book, with good chapter bibliographies and a clear helpful index. - New Library World The book may be interesting to a very wide audience. First of all to librarians and teachers who are the professionals in reader promotion, but is should also attract others: publishers, authors, game designers and active readers themselves. - Information Research ...a welcome contribution to the understanding of the process of reading and its impact on readers. - SCONUL Focus
