As one newspaper towns go to no newspaper towns, as bloggers get sponsors, as networking sites burgeon in content, what is the future of the book review?  We are poised now at the juncture—the transition is underway.  But a transition to what?  For some, the readership created by the internet is something to applaud.  We bring together a panel of writers, editors, and professionals, established on the vanguard, to discuss prospects for the review and how it may change, in the near future.
