A new book publisher, Bookkus Publishing, opened its doors with a new way of acquiring books for publishing. It accepts submissions from any author with a focus on using a group to judge the best books in order to publish. The people who edit the books are normal everyday readers who have no special training other than they enjoy to read. For each book they read, they give a rating.
