The Staff Recommends
If you’re anything like me, you totally nerd out over what to read, checking editorial and user reviews until your ISP shuts down your connection. With so many books to choose from and so much review information to obsess over, wouldn’t it be nice to have yet another review source to consider?
Of course it would. Enter The Staff Recommends, a site where publishers send books to the editors of The Staff Recommends and if the editors like it, it gets featured and the publisher pays a bit. If the book is a dud and goes nowhere, nobody gets anything.
From their About page:
So what you’re saying is that The Staff Recommends is kind of like the part in the bookstore where the employees put little cards on the books saying what they liked and why, only online?
Yes, that’s what we’re saying.
There’s only one book live right now, which I suppose can be parsed as a testament to their editorial standards. Or relative newness. You choose.
Regardless, I love ideas like this.
