I review many types of books: old, new, classic, genre fiction as well as literary fiction, and nonfiction. My fees are based on scale relative to word count and the complexity of the book. I write three types of reviews: Snapshot ($250), Standard ($350) or Scholarly ($550). My book reviews are balanced and fair. I post my reviews on multiple platforms.  It is important to note that my reviews are distributed to a proprietary list of book lovers, bookstores and the media.  Interested? email me patricia@prforpeople.com

Larry Jaffee’s new book, Record Store Day: the Most Improbable Comeback of the 21st Century, sheds light on how vinyl records were rescued from a certain death.  One astute observer, Gerhard Blum, Sony Music Entertainments Senior Vice President, Distribution and Supply Chain International, offered his comments about the resurrection of vinyl: “I saw it dying. I saw it dead. And I saw it coming out of the grave, rising from the ashes, like the whole Phoenix cycle…No one in the industry can get enough vinyl right now.”https://www.larryjaffee.com/
