FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Published in the 2nd week of the month:
Every year, BookBrowse gives away well over 1000 copies of books to members interested in reading and reviewing the titles. The month's book selection is sent to members around the middle of the month and they have about 5 days in which to make their choices. Over the past year, all members who have requested one or more books have received at least one book, usually on their first request, and many have received multiple books. For copyright reasons, we are only able to offer First Impressions books to our members resident in the USA.
