1. Form
At the beginning, give your title for the review, and also give complete information about the book: author, title, place of publication, publisher, date, number of pages. Use APA format for the citation.

2. Introduction
a. Brief explanation of the relevance or importance of this book.
b. Questions of introduction: background; date of writing; genre; for whom the book is intended; what we know about the author; the historical context in which the author wrote: the “school” represented by this author or work (i.e., identifiable groups of persons with whom the author works and agrees). It is the reviewer’s responsibility to judge which of these components can be known and which are helpful and/or necessary for understanding the book.
c. The purpose of this book; what the author is trying to accomplish
d. Brief identification of the scope of the book (how much the author is trying to cover)
