BestBooks.biz is an international website devoted to books, publishing and book-related topics.
It is part of an independent network of websites edited by Alan Price, a published author based in the UK.
General enquiries are prefered by e-mail but printed
items and books for review (see note for authors and publishers below) may be sent to:
Alan Price, Managing Editor, HRM Guide Network, 3 St Catherines Gardens, Edinburgh EH12 7AZ, Scotland, UK.
General Enquiries
Wherever possible we will help on general enquiries
that are not answered on the website. We do not pass e-mail or other address
information on to any third party without your specific permission unless such information is
already in the public domain (e.g. on your own website). We do not sell books directly: all books
are available through online booksellers such as Amazon.
Advertisers
Advertising is accepted on most web pages.
Please ask for current advertising rates and availability. You may also advertise through Google's
Adwords system and target the desired website(s):

Authors and Publishers
Books are accepted for review within a limited range of topics. Due to time
constraints we are unable to review fiction and poetry books at present. You should
provide a summary of the content before sending a review copy.
We are interested in helping to promote good books and are prepared to publish guest articles and chapter
excerpts on a no-fee basis on either side. You retain your copyright but we require your formal permission to
have the material on our website(s) for an unlimited period. This is a faster and more
effective method of promotion than a book review.
Tips for effective chapter excerpts:
- Length should be 750-1000 words per excerpt.
- Several excerpts can be linked together on separate pages to provide a 'mini website'.
- Content should be selected to capture readers' imagination quickly, want to read more
and consider purchasing the book.
- Content should be keyword rich to benefit from search engine traffic.
For example, if the book is about travel to India, make sure that 'India' and other relevant terms appear
in the excerpt(s).
- Ideally, excerpts should not be available elsewhere on the worldwide web. Search engines,
such as Google, discount material they regard as duplicate content.
Books must be available from at least one branch of Amazon.
We reserve the right to refuse any item without explanation and will not
publish anything that is defamatory, discriminatory, illegal, overtly political,
religious or sexual in nature.
Linking
We welcome suggestions for reciprocal links
with good quality, content-rich sites. Links that are not reciprocated
will be deleted.
You may also link freely to any specific article on our websites (deep-linking). However, we would
appreciate you NOT framing articles since this invalidates some of the advertisements we carry.
In other words, you would be depriving us of income that contributes to the cost of maintaining the websites.
Content Partners
We are interested in developing long-term relationships with other websites that offer related content or
services. Exploratory e-mails are welcome.
