Readers, reviewers, and publishers have expressed an interest in seeing “our kind” of reviews applied to other genres. We’re happy to oblige and will start with posting reviews of non-transportation items on the “off” days, i.e. Tuesdays and Thursdays. These posts will not be announced on Facebook/Twitter but the RSS feed will automatically update at the time the post goes live on the website.
So, enjoy—and participate by doing your own reviews!

Today, a new and improved SpeedReaders website is going live. It is completely redesigned and has much-enhanced functionality.
Many of our US readers will be familiar with the Public Radio concept: no cost to the public — a minimum of advertising — made possible by the support of the people who use the service.
More and more, websites with rich, original content are switching to a fee-based subscription model. We don’t want to go there—yet. (Nor do we want to engage in the dreaded but inevitable Public Radio-like fundraisers!) YOU can help keep what we do here free of cost to the user, aka you, by giving the DONATE button on the left margin a workout!
Feel the pull of its soft, orange glow . . . C’mon, do it! You know you want to! It’s the right thing!
Countless hours are spent on doing the reviews and upkeep of the website. While you sleep the sleep of the righteous, we toil over piles of books and ponder the mysteries of the universe. You come to SpeedReaders for quality content, not commerce—join us in keeping it that way, won’t you?
Racemaker Press took home two coveted awards from the Society of Automotive Historians annual banquet in Hershey this year, recognizing two of the independent firm’s 2010 published works.
