Publishing News: Top Shelf’s Summer

image

I'm not sure why more publishers don't send out more routine lists of forthcoming publishing events in addition to having that information listed on their web site. A few years into the book distribution era it's still harder than it should be to tell what's coming out and what's not and what's been delayed. Speaking of which, here's a list of Top Shelf's summer releases according to their latest e-mail that comes awfully close to ideal -- they pulled their June releases into another section and then didn't repeat the information in the listings, but otherwise I liked this just fine. I'd kill for title/link lists from a half-dozen or of the best publishers, although as in some cases such a list might get bogged down with licensed shit and general weirdness, that may be an idle wish.
