Sometimes a book will be turned down for a variety of reasons. On the review blog we posted an article called the Top Ten Lulu Book Boo Boos (http://lulubookreview.com/2008/11/24/top-ten-lulu-book-boo-boos/) to help provide some assistance to authors as to what mistakes to avoid. Sometimes though, it boils down to what we have going on at the time of a submission, and whether we have just reviewed too many of the same type of book. In Saul's particular case, a lot had to do with timing, and I did provide a few words of advice and some feedback to him. We at LLBR, are actually quite excited by Saul's work and his potential, and continue to be in contact with him as we watch his success. In the case where a book has been declined due to timing, too many of the same type, etc, we may end up revisiting that work at a later time. We don't want to leave the authors hanging for months, so decline "for now". Since all of us are also authors, we know what it's like to wait for a response and try not to let things hang out there for too long without response. Mike,
