I’m a reader,  a writer,  an entrepreneur and a book reviewer.  I’m currently retired on disability and an occasional freelance writer.   At different times, I have worked in both bookstores and libraries.   I am , honestly,  just totally immersed in the world of books and I share the most interesting and noteworthy of these every  Tuesday and Thursday .   I hope you’ll indulge my occasional off-topic posts when I just Have to write about something other than the latest books to cross my radar. Questions or concerns? Feel free to e-mail drone at libdrone dot info.

libdrone.info and   libdrone.com are both produced  by Alan L Jobe.    Ron L Routzahn,  my partner in life and in business contributes about half of the new reviews as of September 2010.   Since our tastes in reading material are very different we believe this allows us to cover a wider variety of books.

As a matter of policy,  this site routinely accepts review copies and advanced reading copies of published books for consideration for review.     Unless a specific commitment to a specific review date has been made via e-mail prior to submission,  the submitter understands that no review is promised or implied by my choosing to accept the offered book.    All  persons submitting books for review are further advised that every review on this site is my considered, personal opinion of the book after devoting significant time to reading, examining, evaluating and considering the work in question.      Those who have read me consistently for some years are already well aware that I most certainly do give bad reviews if I don’t like the book.    Those submitting books further agree that (again unless otherwise specifically arranged prior to submission) any books submitted to me may be given away to site visitors in contests or other promotions.    Such promotions will be operated by libdrone.info at my  sole expense and discretion.
