Everyone in the book trade knows this week's sponsor, Shelf Awareness, which brings daily enlightenment to publishers and booksellers everywhere. But our librarian readers tell me they get great value out of it too, with lots of great news and reviews on books and publishing in general. We've gotten quite close to the good folks behind The Shelf, as it's known, and we heartily recommend it as a quick and, yes, enlightening read.
