Did you know our Booksellers Choice Reading Guide is a seasonal guide produced four times a year by BookPeople (formerly known as the Australian Booksellers Association) for distribution to booksellers all across Australia?
These reading guides are a selection of the best new books for the season chosen just for you by Australia's leading booksellers. There is something to suit everyone- new Australian and international fiction, biographies, history and science books, along with a great selection of children's and young adult titles.
We at Books N Gifts and at our sister store Berry Newsagency are proud contributors to the guide sitting on the selection panel of booksellers who assist in putting the seasonal guides together. This involves our team reading through large volumes of new books prior to their release date. As avid book lovers we love this opportunity.
At Books N Gifts and at our sister store Berry Newsagency we know that book selling is more than just sales. It starts with book selection ensuring that we have the best and widest selection of the latest new releases for you our customer. We mention this for our work on the national Booksellers Choice reading guide selection committee greatly assists us with selecting those new book releases for you.
In addition to our work for the Booksellers Choice Reading Guide we also meet weekly with each of the publishers to discuss each of their latest publications prior to their release date. Whilst time consuming these meetings are invaluable as they too assist us with selecting that special book catered to suit your interest.
