''Black Issues Book Review'' was a bimonthly magazine published in the U.S. in which books of interest to African-American readers were reviewed. It was published from 1999 through 2007. ''Black Issues Book Review'' was founded in 1998 by William E. Cox, Adrienne Ingrum, and Susan McHenry. Cox had been the publisher of ''Black Issues in Higher Education'', which ran a single book review in each issue. He wanted to expand its coverage of books, but after considering the large number of books aimed at black readers, he came to the conclusion that a new magazine would be more appropriate. Ingrum was a book industry veteran, with nearly 20 years of experience in publishing and book-selling. McHenry had served in editorial positions at several magazines, including ''Black Enterprise'', ''Essence'', and ''Ms.'' ''Library Journal'' named ''Black Issues Book Review'' one of the ten best new magazines of 1998. ''The New York Times'' reported that the magazine sold 40,000 copies of each issue in 2000. By 2004, according to ''Publishers Weekly'', ''Black Issues Book Review'' had circulation of 75,000.〔 In 2005, ''Black Issues Book Review'' entered into a partnership with ''QBR: The Black Book Review'', a quarterly book review whose publishers also managed an annual book fair in Harlem. ''QBR'' was merged into ''Black Issues Book Review''. Target Market News purchased ''Black Issues Book Review'' in March 2006. Later that year, Target Market News announced that it would begin publishing ''Blacks & Books'', a monthly supplement for newspapers such as the ''New York Amsterdam News'' and the ''Philadelphia Tribune'' that serve African-American readers. ''Blacks & Books'' was to be produced by members of the ''Black Issues Book Review'' staff. The September/October 2007 issue of ''Black Issues Book Review'' was its final issue. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Black Issues Book Review」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
