I have used BookBrowse so much over the years and just want you to know how much it has enriched my life. The "publishing soon" portion is my bible to reserve books at the library and the First Impressions program is utterly gratifying. Your website is a joy and a place I can go that never fails to bring me serenity and knowledge. Thank you for being such a loyal guide for us book lovers out there.
