Reviews of Australian Society for Sports History Publications 24 3 Review Guidelines for Sporting Traditions Preamble: Books for review are allocated at the discretion of the Reviews Editor. Unsolicited reviews are not accepted unless prior arrangements have been made with the Reviews Editor. The following guidelines should be of assistance. The target length for reviews is 600-1000 words per title. Only exceed the upper limit if there are good reasons for this, and let me know in advance if this is the case. Word limits for Review Essays, where several works are reviewed at the same time, should be negotiated in advance. Deadlines are flexible, but it is good for the journal and the authors concerned to see reviews in print as soon as possible after the release of books. Nominal deadlines are as follows: May issue – 01 April; November issue – 01 October. However, reviews are welcome to be submitted at any time. Please send the review as a Word email attachment to: [email protected]. I will acknowledge the receipt of your review in a return email. Reviews that are not in transferable electronic format will not be accepted. All reviews are subject to editing for length, clarity and style. The manuscript should be double-spaced and left-aligned. Single, not double, spaces should follow full stops. Single inverted commas should be used for quotations. Use details on the imprint page of the book to provide the following information at the head of the review: Author, title (in italics), publisher, place of publication, year of publication, numbers of Roman and Arabic pages, paperback or hardback, price (if known) in Australian dollars (with British pounds or US dollars when appropriate). ISBN numbers are NOT required. Please use punctuation and spacing as set out in the example below.

Australia 4 Book Review Register for Sporting Traditions The general policy is to allocate no more than one book at a time per reviewer. This will hopefully improve the turnover time for reviews and potentially broaden the pool of reviewers. Regular updates of the Register will be posted on the Society’s website at http://www.sporthistory.org/. The Book Review Register is arranged in alphabetical order by author surname.
