Book Clique Cafe has a 'contact us' web address. There is a copyright declaration with date, also the date each page was revised. Linked with Amazon. Aimed at online reading groups who create book discussions on the web. No junky advertising.
Book seer is a very basic site of just two pages - a bit of a gimmick. Several titles I entered generated no recommendations, so somewhat limited. Have to delve further than first page to find information about the site. A literary web project by Apt.Labs, which has contact details of the authors. List of clients are all reputable publishers.
Librarything is a very good site, aimed at booklovers of all persuasions. You sign in and become a member.When you create a list of the books you've read, other members recommend similar titles you might like. Every book listed has reviews written by Librarything members. Also talk forums, blogs, local events and featured authors. There is a copyright declaration and no advertising. 'See what bloggers and the media say about Librarything' is very positive and encouraging. Librarything is available in many languages.
Personally, when helping patrons, I have used Fantastic Fiction, Literature Map, and Librarything, which is especially useful for its reviews.
