Year-End Bestsellers Can Fill Post-Holiday Void

The 2005 Book Sense Bestsellers, a special listing of the year's bestselling titles at independent bookstores with Book Sense nationwide, is a versatile marketing tool that booksellers can use to drive post-holiday sales. The list provides the year's top 15 titles in six categories: Hardcover Fiction, Hardcover Nonfiction, Paperback Fiction, Paperback Nonfiction, Children's Fiction, and Children's Illustrated.

Each category list is available in an 8-1/2" x 11" downloadable PDF that can be displayed individually or all six can be placed together to create one large Book Sense 2005 Bestsellers poster. The colorful PDFs are an ideal backdrop for displays in the store and in the front window.

To use the PDFs to create a large poster-effect, booksellers should place the Hardcover Fiction, top left; Hardcover Nonfiction, top right; Paperback Fiction, middle left; Paperback Nonfiction, middle right; Children's Fiction, bottom left; and Children's Illustrated, bottom right.
