This service was started because the primary astronomy and astrophysics indexes, Astronomischer Jahresbericht, Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts, ARIBIB, do not index book reviews, nor does INSPEC. World of Science (the online database based on Science Citation Index) does index them but it is expensive and many people do not have ready access to it. Some individual journals index book reviews, e.g. the Journal of the Royal Society of Canada does. So does Nature (by book author, review author, title). ADS (NASA's Astrophysics Data Service) has book reviews from Helen Knudsen's Monthly Index (~1978-1988) and now from Astronomy and Astrophysics Book and Software Reviews (~1987- ). But you might as well search the latter directly! Other sources:
