May White Box Includes an Abundance of Goodies

For May's white box mailing, which booksellers can expect mid-month, Book Sense Publisher Partners have provided sell sheets, easelback posters, postcards, bookmarks, and some fun promotional items, such as a promotional T-shirt for Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap ... and Others Don't, by Jim Collins (HarperBusiness).

Also included will be the first materials for the ongoing Hardcover History promotion, produced in conjunction with The History Channel, and promotional materials for the "Make Some Magic with Harry Potter Sweepstakes."

Additionally, there's a pad of flyers for the Book Sense 76 Top Ten Audiobooks Recommendation List that stores can use in their "June is Audiobook Month" displays.
