Announcing: The March/April 76 Top Ten's for Hardcover and Paperback
![Printer-friendly version Printer-friendly version](https://www.bookweb.org/sites/all/modules/contrib/print/icons/print_icon.png)
Dear Booksellers,
Once again, your great recommendations made this a tough 76 to compile, as did the bounty of new books from publishers. January and February had been a little light publishing-wise, with a lot of key books coming in March and April, resulting in extra competition for spots on this 76. So it is that this next flier will have two Top Ten's: one for hardcover on the front page, and then, immediately following on the inside, a Top Ten paperback, plus a featured author spot.
The full 76 will be announced here in BTW next week. Again, thank you!
And thank you for the great photos of your 76 displays that many of you have sent in. Keep 'em coming!
