For more than four decades, Booknotes has been recording and reviewing the growing number of books (and now online resources as well) concerning mass media, telecommunications, and the information industry. Edited by Christopher H. Sterling, this review journal provides brief and cogent early reviews of publications and websites. We cover several hundred titles every year.

CBQ is published by Taylor & Francis, from which subscriptions are available for both print and on-line versions. Every issue of Booknotes published since 1969 is now available online through informaworld.com

CBQ issues usually open with a review essay (and sometimes more than one), pulling together a substantial annotated bibliography of reference material on a given topic.

CBQ reviews are the product of an editorial board of active contributors, many of whom focus on a specific subject.

CBQ is indexed annually, by author and title, by assistant editor James K. Bracken in the final issue of each volume.

CBQ's background goes back to its first mimeograph appearance in 1969.
