With state and university budget concerns I’ve been looking for efficient ways to lower the publicity budget. Cutting review copies of backlist titles sent overseas to near zero was an easy place to start. Earlier this week I received a review copy request from a Belgium based journal that publishes every five years for a book published in 2005.  The journal published its last issue in early 2009 so the prospective review would run nearly ten years after the book’s publication date.

I am sorry that I am unable to fulfill your request.
