Now Available: December Indie Next List Notables Flier & Shelf-Talkers

Booksellers can now download the December Indie Next List Notable title recommendations in a flier and shelf-talkers on BookWeb.org. Each month, the Indie Next List Notables showcase outstanding writing -- selections that have all been recommended by indie booksellers nationwide.

Almost 62 percent of booksellers who responded to a recent ABA survey create an Indie Next List display using a mix of Great Reads and Notables titles, and, going into the holiday season, the December Notables titles expand the range of books available for creating your Next store display.

The December Notables list includes a new -- uncensored -- translation of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's acclaimed In the First Circle (Harper Perennial); a new collection of poetry from Pulitzer Prize-winning poet W.S. Merwin (The Shadow of Sirius, Copper Canyon); and the latest from "a rising star of crime fiction," Dave Zeltserman's Pariah (Serpent's Tail). In nonfiction, the list features Al Gore's Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis (Rodale); Caroline Alexander's insightful reexamination of The Iliad, The War That Killed Achilles (Viking); and a provocative December choice, Scroogenomics: Why You Shouldn't Buy Presents for the Holidays (Princeton University Press) by Joel Waldfogel.

Booksellers with comments, questions, and suggestions for the Next List are encouraged to contact Dan Cullen, ABA senior director of editorial content, via e-mail.

Stores that need more copies of the Indie Next List fliers should e-mail ABA's Linda Ford. The Indie Next List Great Reads are also available in PDF format on Bookweb.org.
