Book Reviews
Guidelines for Contributors
The recently published books listed below can be obtained from the Book Review Editors for review in future issues of Millennium.
The following are a few specifications concerning the form and substance of a book review for Millennium. The normal length for reviews is as follows: one book–800 words; two books–1200 to 1500 words; and three books–2000 words. The review should contain a balance between description and critical evaluation. While in no way wishing to discourage reviewers who wish to develop a specific argument within the review, it should be remembered that our Review Section also serves as a bibliographic service to our readers. The typescript should be double-spaced to facilitate editing, with the exception of direct quotations, which should be indented from both the left and right margins and single-spaced. All quotations should be followed by a page reference, e.g., (p. 23). References should be compiled in the University of Chicago Style, amalgamated and signalled serially in the text of the article by superscripts. The references should be typed as footnotes.
Reviewers are asked to submit an electronic version of their review by Manuscript Central in a software package compatible with Microsoft Word for Windows 2000. Instructions can be found on the Millennium website under the heading, ‘Notes for Contributors’.
Please keep in mind that acceptance for publication is conditional on approval and editing by the Book Review Editors. The Book Review Editors reserve the right to ask that a book be returned if the review is considered unsatisfactory. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Millennium Book Review Editors at .
