Just like the New York Times, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and
other media outlets publishing book reviews, Current Pedorthics
is looking for volunteer members and pedorthic professionals to
help review new book titles selected to be featured in our ‘Off the
Shelf’ book reviews. Since adding this department over a year ago,
its popularity continues to grow and we are in need of additional

editorial volunteers to rate and write reviews on these upcoming
selections to be featured in our magazine.
Book topics range from various medical and pedorthic topics;
pathologies and treatments, and a wide range of alternative and
business subjects to assist pedorthic professionals with their
practice and business. As a reviewer, all we ask for is a 250 to 300
word summary about the book and its usefulness for pedorthic
professionals by our editorial deadline. You are welcome to review
one or more books, and as our thanks, you can keep any of the
books you review for your own personal resource library.
To sign-up, please contact Margaret Hren, Current Pedorthics
Editor at [email protected] to pick out a tome from our
upcoming ‘to review’ list.
