Why sustainability books need specialized review services:
- Less attention from traditional book review services because the volume of sustainability books is much lower than that of general-interest books
- Reviewing sustainability books requires specialized expertise
- Sustainability topics are often technical, making it difficult to find qualified reviewers
- Limited space in print book review publications, which tend to focus on general-interest books with larger subscription bases
- Reviews often appear months after publication
- Review costs are higher for sustainability books
- Sustainability authors are more globally distributed than the US-based review services
- Reader-based review services on general interest books not feasible for sustainability books (as sustainability books are expensive and thus cannot be given away free for consumer-based review)
