Finding Book Reviews
If you cannot find sufficient scholarly material on your work, you may find it beneficial to seek out book reviews to supplement your scholarly findings.
There are several publications that specialize in book reviews, but two in particular you should find helpful are the New York Review of Books and the Times Literary Supplement. There are also more significant, popular publications that tend to publish many book reviews, such as The New York Times or The Washington Post.
I recommend using ProQuest Research Library to search for reviews. ProQuest indexes a large number of newspapers and other non-scholarly publications, making it a great source for book reviews.
To search for book reviews found in particular publications, you will want to structure your Advanced search as follows:
Once this is done, select “Review” from the “Document Type” filter and press search.
