Barnes and Noble launches online review magazine

Barnes & Noble has just launched Barnes & Noble Review, "an online publication that aims to bring serious readers smart and useful appraisals of current books, music, and films (on DVD), as well as reconsiderations of important past works. It will accommodate many voices, publishing exclusive material from a wide range of established critics, reviewers, and authors."

They'll be posting daily book reviews, "essays of rediscovery, regular columns and articles covering authors and genres, and a monthly interview." They say their "goal is to introduce readers to books, music, and films that we consider worthy of reading, listening to, or watching."

The publication's staff is made up of booksellers, teachers, and writers, including science fiction author Paul Di Filippo.
