2005 Specialty Bestseller Lists & Media Exposure

Book Sense specialty bestseller lists provide great opportunities for booksellers to introduce their stores, and the Book Sense program, to consumers through their local media. Many newspapers and magazines feature specialty sections or inserts that are a perfect match for one or more of the lists, and often what is needed is to bring the availability of the lists to the publisher's attention weeks or months in advance.

For more about placing Book Sense Bestseller lists (both general and specialty) in local media, ABA has put together some helpful tips in "How and Why to Get the Book Sense Bestseller List Into Your Local Paper."
