Al recenzo! Write a review for the EUSA bookstore...

When Esperanto-USA updated its bookstore several months ago, one of the most anticipated new capabilities was the ability to post reviews and opinions of any item. But since then, there haven't been very many reviews posted. We really need them!

The Esperanto-USA bookstore has thousands of items -- books (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, textbooks), music, videos, ephemera and miscellany. But not everything is of equal value or for every taste. Each product does currently have a brief description, but these are usually from a neutral point-of-view that may not tell the whole story. It's sometimes hard to tell what's good, what's bad, and help the good rise to the top and the bad. That's where you come in.

Books with reviews really do sell better. It's a great way to help out Esperanto-USA, help out your fellow shoppers, and make sure that your favorite Esperanto books and items get some much-deserved recognition.

Here's how you write a review for the Esperanto-USA bookstore:

1) Enter the Esperanto-USA bookstore.
2) Click on Log in in the upper-left.
3) Log in with your e-mail and password (may be different than your E-USA website password) or create a new account. You don't need to be a member of Esperanto-USA to write reviews in the bookstore,
4) Use the search field or the categories to find the item you'd like to review.
5) Click on "Write a Review".
6) Pick a star rating and enter your comments. You can write in English, Esperanto, Spanish, Toki Pona -- any language that makes sense for the product you're reviewing.
7) If you want your review to be anonymous, you can leave your name off the review, or you can sign it with your own name or handle you like.
8) When you submit your review, it will go to one of the bookstore moderators for review. We're not going to censor any reviews -- mainly, we just have to control spam.

I'm going to try to make a habit of writing a quick review every time I finish reading a book in Esperanto. I think this will be good for my personal experience with the book (taking a few minutes to reflect on what I've read will help it to sink in), and hopefully my reviews will be helpful to others as well.
