[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 434207, member: 232"] Another topic I wanted to bring up is publishers sending out review copies and not getting them reviewed. I understand that with our own local reviewers that they just get too much stuff and I fully understand that. I was just wondering what the publisher side of this is. Do you take the risk and still send them out knowing it might not get reviewed? Do you contact the reviewers and see who might have time? Also, I recently heard the story of people soliciting reviews from one company at Gen Con for one certain product and none of them ever posted a review. Is this a common occurrence? Related to that, the company gave me a review copy on the terms I'd get it reviewed by a certain deadline. I agreed and the review should be up shortly, but I was wondering if others have tried a similar approach and how well it worked? Again, thanks for your time. [/QUOTE]
