Advanced Publication Newsletter (APN)
For Library Managers in Acquisitions and Collection Development

January 2010

Dear Librarian:

Welcome to the Winter 2010 edition of PENGUIN GROUP (USA)'s Advance Publication Newsletter. The newsletter includes late-breaking reviews, news of award-winners, up-to-date information on prices, and book descriptions for our January through April titles. We hope you will take some time to review the many new books included here.

As usual, the newsletter is divided into subject categories to route each section to your appropriate acquisitions and collection development specialists.

Some highlights:
  • Viking is proud to announce Summertime, a brilliant new work of fiction from Nobel Prize-winner J.M. Coetzee, while our new imprint, Amy Einhorn, is excited to publish the historical fiction title The Postmistress by Sarah Blake. (see Fiction) In addition, make sure to check out our Mysteries/Thrillers and Science Fiction/Fantasy sections for all the latest titles from Harlan Coben, John Lescroart, Walter Mosley, and T.J. Parker.
  • Penguin Classics offers new translations of Celestina, a racy and irreverent 16th-century Spanish tragicomedy; The Real Story of Ah-Q from Lu Xun, the father of Chinese literature; and the father of Japanese fiction Natsume Sōseki's Kokoro and Sanshirō. (see Literature)
  • Ira Berlin offers a sweeping new account of the African American experience over four centuries in The Making of African America. (see History and Biography). Also, please see our Memoir page, which includes Committed, Elizabeth Gilbert's sequel to her bestselling Eat, Pray, Love.
