Best of 2020

Forthcoming
Jordan B. Peterson‘s follow-up Beyond Order: Twelve More Rules for Life will be published on March 2. Unlike his first book, which did not have a US publisher and was distributed by PRH on behalf of Random House Canada, the new book will be published by Portfolio.
Giving
The Book Industry Charitable Foundation has a year-end campaign looking to raise another $40,000. Ingram Content Group is participating by matching up to $15,000 in donations, as “one of several ways Ingram is working to help independent booksellers during these trying times.” Chairman John Ingram says, “We hope it inspires others to give as well.”
