JLA publishes in-depth reviews of currently or recently published books. To know the thrust areas of our interest see guidelines for authors. The normal length of a review would be around one thousand words. Unsolicited reviews will also be considered for publication, subject to the approval of the referees. The review should contain the full publications details of the work under review, its total page number and price.
