About Us
About Books & Media - take a new look at books
When you discover what Books & Media can do for you we think you'll find it indispensable.
A web-based subscription service for publishers, booksellers and libraries, Books & Media offers a comprehensive and unique resource on books featured across all consumer media. A customisable press and media cuttings office, Books & Media is updated daily and can be accessed through this website or received via a data feed.
Books & Media covers all books featured in the national press in Britain and Ireland, whether reviewed or referenced in general editorial, interviews or the news. Books & Media also covers books and authors with official tie-ins or featured on radio or discussed on social networking sites and blogs. Authors appearing on TV chat shows and books adapted into major and independent movies are also covered.
Every Sunday night subscribers will be able to find out what was reviewed in the weekend newspapers and who was interviewed where - with star ratings on reviews. The TV and radio service lists the channel and broadcast time for each programme that features or is linked to books, including specialist programmes such as cookery and gardening.
This huge resource is fully customisable and searchable, so whether you are a multi-national or a small publisher, a bookseller or a service provider to the public, you can get the information you need to make Books & Media work for you in the way you want.
If it's not on Books & Media then no-one's talking about it.
