About The Short Short Book Review
From the publisher's feed
The Short Short Book Review is a book review podcast with fresh episodes released on a regular basis. Radio broadcaster, writer, and some times comedian, Gary Wheatcroft, undertakes calm,…
thoughtful, and focused reviews of books found in the Little Shop of Books in Cootamundra New South Wales. The Little Shop of Books focuses on providing rare, interesting, antiquarian and selected modern books, both fiction and non fiction. This gives the Short Short Book Review a unique angle; the books reviewed can be new, out of print, rare, popular, modern or just weird... and hopefully, always interesting.
The Little Shop of Books, and The Sutton Lane Studio, where Gary reviews the books, are located in the lovely northern Riverina town of Cootamundra, in rural western New South Wales, Australia.
Podcasts usually run for less than 10 minutes and provide thoughtful insight into books of all styles and ages. Every effort is given to share the books, without giving away the exciting plots or too many facts. The intention is to help you decide if a book is one that you want to track down and enjoy.
You never know what you will hear on the Short Short Book review; hopefully something new every time.
