The 2006 Book Sense Summer Paperback Picks and Notables Preview

The 2006 Book Sense Summer Paperback Picks, with booksellers' comments, is now available on BookWeb.org. The printed list will be sent to stores with Book Sense in the June Red Box mailing.

The list is a wide-ranging and intriguing collection of great titles for summer readers, and Book Sense sends thanks to every bookseller who nominated titles.

"All thanks, too, to booksellers who send in photos of their in-store displays of Picks titles," said Book Sense Picks Editor-in-Chief Dan Cullen. "We'll add the images from your store to the materials about Book Sense that we share on our visits to publishers."

Photos may be in print or digital format. Digital photos, approximately 3" x 5" and 300 dpi, saved as JPEG or TIFF files, can be e-mailed to Christine Babcock at [email protected]. Multiple pictures may be sent as a stuffed file (.sit). PDF or ZIP files should not be sent, but photos saved on a ZIP disk are acceptable. Mail should be addressed to Christine Babcock, ABA, 200 White Plains Rd., Tarrytown, New York 10591. All photos should be labeled with store name, city, and state. Photos will not be returned.

Looking ahead, the deadline for the August Book Sense Picks List is Friday, June 9. Nominations may be sent via e-mail to [email protected] or via an online nomination form.

Requests for additional copies of any of the Book Sense Picks lists should be sent to [email protected].
