The Book Standard's Special Free Subscription Offer Continues

ABA member booksellers can still take advantage of the special free subscription offer to VNU's The Book Standard (www.thebookstandard.com), the new online, book-industry trade publication, which launched at the end of January. This special membership offer is for a free one-year subscription and is open to all ABA member bookstore owners and their employees.

VNU describes The Book Standard as "a one-stop information center for book charts, market analysis, news, reviews, community information, and extensive database resources," modeled after Billboard, the music industry bible. More than 150 bestseller charts powered by Nielsen BookScan, daily commentary about the book publishing and bookselling industries, expert analysis of retail sales data and book-buying trends, book reviews powered by Kirkus, and European market coverage and perspective from the UK's The Bookseller are among The Book Standard's features. In addition, subscribers can sign up for three weekly e-newsletters delivered to their e-mail inbox -- Chart Alert, Retail Report, and Books-to-Film -- and daily e-newsletters are planned for the future.
