The September 2004 Book Sense Picks

Here is a preview of the September Book Sense Picks. Independent booksellers in the Book Sense program will receive the Picks fliers in the August Red Box.

The flier is designed for stores to use during the month of September, and it is one component of the monthly Picks program, which also includes a downloadable PDF flier of 20 additional titles and online listings of bibliographic information for more titles that have been nominated for this time period by independent booksellers with Book Sense, but that have not been chosen for either of the other two lists.

The PDF flier -- titled "We Also Recommend…" -- features booksellers' quotes and is designed so that it can be distributed in the store. (To view the September "We Also Recommend…" titles, click here.) In addition, an electronic file of shelf-talkers of these titles will also be made available in a downloadable PDF format.

There are some important deadlines fast approaching. This Friday, August 6, is the deadline for:

• Nominations to the October Picks List, and
  
• Nominations for the Halloween/Get Caught Reading Top Ten.
  

Friday, August 20 is the deadline for:

• Nominations for the Fall History Top Ten.
  

This fall season boasts many notable titles. Please do help ensure that the Picks listing is as strong as it can be by nominating the titles that you will be enthusiastically hand selling. To nominate, just e-mail a few sentences about the title to Book Sense Picks Editor-in-Chief Dan Cullen at [email protected], or use the convenient Web form at http://www.bookweb.org/read/6305.

And many thanks for all your contributions to Book Sense!
