We have a couple of vacancies in our final One Book A Day promotion of the year, which runs two weeks from today. If you're an author or publisher who would like to promote your book to our 50,000 librarian and bookseller readers drop me a line.

Please welcome this week's returning sponsor Backstage Library Works. They'd like you to know that they recently acquired the OCLC Preservation Service Center. Click through their pretty awesome ship-themed banner for more information on their microfilm and digitization services.

Just five more days until we stop accepting entries for Pimp My Bookcart 2009. We've gotten twenty so far, and this is usually when we start getting several a day - check out what we've gotten so far!
