Editorial Reviews

We look at classic books as well. Our "Book by Book" author profiles focus on the major works of extraordinary writers, from Charles Dickens and Mark Twain to Franz Kafka and Virginia Woolf. Bookmarks also covers genres from the best American biographies to great mystery series, and we consult a new team of experts for each issue to recommend the best books on a specific nonfiction subject: consciousness, games, ancient Greece, magic, travel, true crime-.-you name it.

Since the best books often become known by word of mouth, Bookmarks publishes unique lists of our subscribers' favorites-.-they uncover terrific, little-known gems. Each issue also features a profile of a different book club discussing the books its members loved...and the ones that caused the most awkward silences.

Bookmarks is a colorful, smart, decidedly unstuffy guide to the best in new and classic books.
