If posting a review of a book, please include the title, author(s), publisher, and date of publication. If you can include the ISBN where relevant that would help.
For electronic media the same principle applies- so maybe link to a website, date of DVD release and its title, director etc. Whatever you can do to help somebody find it. Please also write the title of the resource and the author (if relevant) in the subject heading.
Important note: Links to the author's own website are encouraged; however links to commercial retailers like Amazon, Abe Books, Waterstones, Play.com etc. may be deleted. 'Other book shops are available'.
