The Open Bookshelf
Talking about the books that matter.
Note from the editor

TOB discusses the books that matter with the people who care most about them. We work with publishers large and small to review new releases and reprinted classics, while giving extra support to innovative indie presses shaking up the industry. For multi-platform collaboration, join us over on Instagram (@theopenbookshelf). To submit a review for publication, please send us an email (theopenbookshelf@gmail.com).
