Hold That Spot...

The Book Sense 2006 Bestsellers, a special listing of the year's top 15 bestselling titles in six categories -- Hardcover Fiction, Hardcover Nonfiction, Paperback Fiction, Paperback Nonfiction, Children's Fiction, and Children's Illustrated -- will be published in Bookselling This Week on Thursday, December 7. The lists will be produced in six downloadable 8-1/2" x 11" PDFs that can be displayed individually or be put together to create one large Book Sense 2006 Bestsellers poster.

"Last year was the first time that we designed the year-end bestsellers as a grouping of six individual pages that could be displayed together to create the appearance of one large poster," said Meg Smith, associate director of Book Sense marketing. "We received very positive feedback from a number of booksellers about this really dynamic visual statement.

"This year, we hope even more booksellers will reserve the space needed to display the six lists together. As a whole, they create a truly eye-catching display, appropriate for in store or in a front window."

To display the lists together in poster format, a space of approximately 16" x 33" is needed.

Individual year-end bestseller fliers are perfect for display throughout the store and at the cashwrap, as well as for use as bag-stuffers.
