Amazon.com - Submit your quilting book review

Amazon.com is an amazing resource for learning about the newest books on quilting. For those who are interested in African American quilting, this is a source (besides your local bookstore) to books about our quilting.

Did you know you can leave a book review as simple as a sentence to as long as a short essay on a specific book on Amazon.com or even bn.com? The reviews you leave helps to generate buzz for the book, introduce others to the titles you enjoy, and help when the author looks to publish another book - especially on African American quilting.

If you have a moment, do take a moment to let others know what you think about your favorite African American quilting book. It does make a difference! For example, if you've enjoyed the newest book, Textual Rhythms, on jazz-themed quilts, be the first to review the book. Let others know that your quilts are included in the book! Thanks in advance for supporting the books about our quilting heritage!

Thanks for the perspective...I never thought about writing a review even though my brother writes them often and I read them when I'm purchasing a book...

Karoda,

Hey - There's one other, more important consideration for leaving a comment about a book. It's also great for the author to get feeback from those who have (and even haven't) enjoyed the book. As there's less than 40 books about African American quilting in print, it would be great to see reader feeback on these. All the best, Kyra
