As you know, we already spend a lot of time identifying and listing notable forthcoming books over a three month horizon — so at PM, we have monthly lists for April, May and June. Recently, we have used that data to amplify new releases on a weekly basis. And tomorrow we’ll issue lists of over 50 titles releasing on April 7 alone. As a result, that means we’re also tracking pub date changes in detail. Today we’re sharing that data in a separate spreadsheet, via publun.ch/pubdatechanges.

Skyhorse Publishing’s Arcade imprint announced Monday morning that it acquired world rights to Woody Allen’s autobiography APROPOS OF NOTHING and has published the book today. Allen added a postscript to the new edition, the AP reports. He writes, “Hachette read the book and loved it and despite me being a toxic pariah and menace to society, they vowed to stand firm should things hit the fan. When actual flak did arrive they thoughtfully reassessed their position, concluding that perhaps courage was not the virtue it was cracked up to be and there was a lot to be said for cowering.” […]
