I recently received this invitation for reviewers for the following new
titles from Wallflower.  Although H-Film doesn't have a regular book
reviewing editor or process, we do try to connect interested reviewers with
publishers on occasion and distribute the resulting review to the list.  If
you are interested, please contact me, and I will facilitate the process.
Would you please respond to me if you are interested, so that we don't
develop an extended and confusing process of multiple proposals going to
multiple places.
