BUSINESS READER REVIEW is a free mailing list which provides exactly the service its name implies. This service, we learn from its attendant Web site, "is a free, editorially-independent publication written by Theodore Kinni, a professional book reviewer, business journalist and business book author. It is sponsored by The Business Reader.
The Business Reader is a discounted book brokerage founded in 1991 that provides books to institutional customers worldwide. They especially encourage management training buyers, university libraries, seminars and the like to contact them for large quantity needs and provide free quotes.
With this resource behind him, Mr. Kinni has access to most of the major business titles published in the United States, no matter what your field. So, by being part of this mailing list, you save yourself the time it would take to find a book in your field by wandering a bookstore or even surfing one of the mega-book sites here on the Internet.
The REVIEW comes via e-mail every month with 10 to 20 reviews of new business book releases. You can sample it on their Web site where past issues are archived.
Here's a sample from a recent issue:
"THE BUSINESS READER REVIEW #9
"Welcome to The Business Reader Review, our e-letter offering capsule summaries of 10-20 newly released business books each month. Free subscriptions and back issues are available at http://home1.gte.net/bizbooks Here's what's new and notable on the business bookshelf for March '99:

Clear, concise, no sales hype. I liked that about this newsletter and think you might, too.
