BiblioBuffet's mission is to bring into the public eye high-quality books from small and medium-size commercial publishers including university presses, though we review from large houses as well. We accept books, both fiction and nonfiction, in all genres except business, self-help, true crime, New Age and romance. We do not review self-published or vanity-published books, which include but are not limited to those from Publish America, Xlibris, iUniverse, Booklocker and Lulu. (We are not reviewing e-books at this time.)

We prefer finished copies of books, but ARCs are acceptable. Please, no digital copies. All books, catalogs and press releases can be sent to the address below, or you may contact an individual reviewer via e-mail for her or his mailing address. Our reviewers' preferences are listed below. However, we are always open to other genres—excluding the ones noted above—and encourage publishers to send us any books they would like us to consider.
