Book Sense selections were again the feature of a USA Today "Snapshot" when the May 29 edition of the national newspaper featured five top selections of the Book Sense Summer 2002 Paperback 76.

The featured spot -- on the first page of the Life section under the headline "Independents like these paperbacks"-- also noted that the complete list and recommendations were available on BookSense.com. (For the full list, click here [4]. The list was also mailed to stores in the May white box, which most stores should receive mid-week next week.)

The titles mentioned in USA Today were:

• THE MIRACLE LIFE OF EDGAR MINT, by Brady Udall (Vintage);
  
• THE NEAL POLLACK ANTHOLOGY OF AMERICAN LITERATURE, by Neal Pollack (Perennial);
