Hmmmm, this looks like a good excuse to do some advertising of my own.
If you have a book you want reviewed (yours or someone else's), I will
write one if it's on a subject I'm interested in (check with me first)
and you send me a copy of the book.  I make no promises about reviews
being favourable though!

My interests are pretty eclectic, with a slight emphasis on the social
sciences at the moment (hence the crosspost to soc.history and
sci.anthropology).  If you want to examine previous reviews of mine try
	finger 'books%danny@orthanc.cs.su.oz.au'
and if you are interested in my qualifications try
	finger 'resume%danny@orthanc.cs.su.oz.au'
(Pipe output through a paginator as both are around 150 lines).  You can
mail me if you don't have finger access.
