WHAT BOOKSELLERS SAY...

“I couldn’t do without the Buyers’ Guides. They give me a great overview of the season to get an holistic view of what is forthcoming to plan space in the shop.  Without them we would definitely miss out on some of the smaller publishers, and potentially underestimate potential bestsellers.  For communicating information to part time staff, they are invaluable.”

Adam Hewson, Hewson Books (Kew and Sheen Bookshops).
