Thanks Preets, I think it’s a good suggestion. I will definitely consider it in the future.

Not for every book, but for the ones marked “*our staff pick*” maybe? Nothing elaborate, but just a simple line – e.g. “first book on the subject X”

Just some feedback !

It’s not a recommendation service and it would be impossible to read the books that were released 2 day before. 🙂 Think of it as a human filter which is based on title, cover, publisher, author, number of pages, description of the book, and reviews (if already available). This doesn’t mean that there won’t be crappy books among the new releases sent out, but that the ratio will be lower than the raw list of titles that come out every week.

Judging from the cover or from having read the book? 😉
