An ICv2 Release. ICv2 has announced the first list of reviewers for its upcoming re-launch issue of the ICv2 Guide (see 'The ICv2 Guide -- Inside Pop Culture'), and it includes authors, experts in the field, and librarians.
ICv2 managing editor Anne Gassere expressed her satisfaction at the talent that has been assembled. 'We're very proud of the great group of writers that have agreed to contribute reviews to the ICv2 Guide,' she said. 'While we're still signing writers, we wanted to get this initial list out to let people know the quality of the reviews they can expect in the ICv2 Guide.'
The reviews will add an assessment of quality to ICv2's bestseller lists, market analysis, and news of upcoming releases. ICv2 publisher Milton Griepp said, 'Now our readers can find out what's good, what's hot and what's next, all in one magazine.'
