The Bloomsbury Review^® (TBR) is a “Book Magazine” that reviews books from small, medium, and large presses, university presses, and regional presses. It is a consumer magazine with a strong “trade” readership of booksellers, publishers, and librarians.
The Bloomsbury Review^® reviews a wide range of titles, from fiction and poetry to art, biographies, children's books, health, history, philosophy, politics, psychology, reference, and more. In addition, The Bloomsbury Review^® publishes interviews with authors of new books, essays about reading and publishing, and poetry.

The Bloomsbury Review^® started as a newsletter for the Bloomsbury Book Store near the University of Denver, in Denver, Colorado, back in 1979. The Bloomsbury Bookstore was named after the “Bloomsbury Group,” a coterie of writers, philosophers, and artists who lived in the Bloomsbury section of London, near the University of London, after the turn of the century. Those writers and thinkers included Virginia and Leonard Woolf, economist Maynard Keynes, painter Duncan Grant, and others who all believed that art and culture must be critically examined on a regular basis for the good of the society and the good of the individuals who make up society. The name “Bloomsbury” has become nearly synonymous with art and with creative and critical thinking.

The editors of The Bloomsbury Review^® believe that society is well served by promoting book reading and literacy, by emphasizing critical thinking, by acknowledging the many and various voices of the national and international book publishing community, from the smallest presses to the largest conglomerates who produce books worthy of note for the book-reading public.
