I don`t understand why the old format for pre-pub alert is no longer easily accessible.
I knew that twice each month there would be a list of new books with a short blurb
presented (usually around the first and fifteenth of each month). I was able to find
interesting new authors and the latest publications by my favorite writers.
Help!!!! Is there some way I can still obtain this information? Right now, I found a
list for Nov.,2011. But try as I might, I couldn`t get a list for Dec., Jan. or Feb.
I would love to avoid this problem and not miss out on books I know I`d love.
Please advise me,
Bea Schachter
