New Yorker to Feature Two Book Sense Ads in January

Two top ten January/February Book Sense 76 picks will be featured in newly redesigned bookmark-shaped ads in The New Yorker in January. The ads feature a clearer typeface and a larger image of the recommended book.

The January 20 issue of The New Yorker, on sale January 13, will feature an ad in which Alayne Hopkins of Ruminator Books in St. Paul, Minnesota, recommends Samaritan by Richard Price (Knopf, 0375411151).

The Passion of Artemisia by Susan Vreeland (Penguin paperback, 0142001821) will be featured in a Book Sense ad in the January 27 issue, on sale, January 20. Amy Loewy of Garden District Book Shop in New Orleans provides the recommendation.

These, as well as past Book Sense ads in The New Yorker and The Atlantic Monthly, are available as downloadable PDFs at http://www.bookweb.org/read/5699.
