Instructions for our STAB Meetings!

Want to know what to expect at a STAB meeting. Here you go! (And don't worry, it is a lot more fun than it sounds.)

-Go to www.bwibooks.com and access our account the STAB account. If you don't remember the login, let me know and I'll e-mail it to you.
-Click on "Your lists" on the right side of the page. Find the list with your name and open it. If you don't see one with your name e-mail me and I can set you up with a list. If you can't get a hold of me, review the list "Extra1" or "Extra2".
-Once you open the list, you'll notice that many of the books have "Full Text Reviews" done by professional publications. You can access them by clicking either the big red "FTR" link or click on the "Details" link to access the cover art, the reviews and a summary of the book.
-Or, if you want, you can look them up in a place like Amazon.com. Remember to look more closely at the professional reviews than at the customer reviews.
-Based on the reviews, what you read in the summary, the cover art and anything else that strikes your fancy, give me a score for the book on a scale from 1-5. 1 is low (don't you dare buy this thing) and 5 being high (I just might go buy this book myself).
-Remember, I'm not expecting you to read the book before the meeting. For the STAB meetings I just need you to come to the meeting ready to give a very brief desription of what you think of the book. I'm looking for your opinions based on whatever information you can gather.
