We first invented our popular Buzz Books samplers back in 2012 to harness ebooks in spreading the excitement of grabbing hot galleys and making new discoveries on the convention floor to thousands of people inside the trade and beyond. (Truth be told, most of the printed galleys these days are given away in runs of a few hundred at most.) Whether you’re preparing for Book Expo and want a taste of the big books, or skipping the convention but look forward to sampling new titles from the big fall season, our two Buzz Books samplers are the perfect answer. They’re […]

NYC: Macmillan’s Lease, More Amazon Books, and An Attempted Rights Fair
