Winter catalog tools and assets
Bookseller ideas on ways to use the catalog:
  • Use it as a bag-stuffer.
  • Keep a stack on display at cash wrap.
  • Ask your Chamber of Commerce to keep a stack on hand.
  • Hand it out at your events and other community events.
  • Bring it to local independent living communities.
  • Motivate your staff, by asking them to choose a title they think will do well and have a competition (with a prize!) to see which title sells the most copies.
  • Build a store display. Carry this throughout the store with mini displays in different sections.
  • Include it in book shipments.
Ship dates
  • Start ship date: 10/29
  • In-home start date: 11/1
Cover title

For this year's cover collaboration, we've partnered with Norton Young Readers to use art from The Old Sleigh as the theme of our winter catalog. Written by Jarrett Pumphrey and Jerome Pumphrey, this book "celebrates tradition, community, and simple acts of giving".
