genre moves of a "generic" book review

1. Contextualization (incl. if and how the text "contextualizes" itself).
2. Rationale
3. Scope of the text.
4. Structure and content of the selections.
5. Paratextual content (preface, minipreviews, in-text commentary).
6. Activities and assignments (blends into 4).
7. Conclusion (freq. includes a statement about new directions for writing textbooks).
