About Us
In a year when print newspaper book review sections were on the decline, being canceled, or being moved into the Arts section of a daily newspaper, the Sacramento Book Review (SBR) challenged that trend. Launched in September 2008, SBR is one of only a few book reviews in the country not distributed through a major newspaper and one of the only independent book review companies in the country. SBR is unique in that it is the only (known) free monthly book review publication dedicated to those who love to read and those passionate about ideas.
SBR publishes a 32-page free monthly tabloid, reviewing about 200 books each month. Issues feature regular reviews in more than 30 categories, ranging from memoirs and biographies to science fiction and fantasy. SBR also includes author interviews, who have new books being released that month, a calendar of upcoming local events, and whatever else catches our fancy. Special editions throughout the year will include children’s book editions, holiday issues, and unique themes.
SBR is distributed around the greater Sacramento and San Francisco Bay Area in bookstores, libraries, coffee shops, colleges, and other gathering places each month.
