Abstract: 
This article identifies the two approaches to defining a book review. The first defines a book review as a text published in the 'Book Reviews' section of a journal. The second approach involves specifying criteria that a text must satisfy to qualify as a book review and assessing whether a given text satisfies these criteria. This second approach reveals a significant overlap between book reviews and other types of publications in economics, such as encyclopedia entries, prefaces, review essays, and review articles.
