The picks will hopefully feel like an extension of our store -- a compelling title you may or may not have heard of. For small press titles, expect to get a mix of new independent hits and looked-over gems. It will be a great chance to keep up with your writer's favorite writers.
Non-fiction titles may be political or art and music-focused. This summer, our two favorites in the category were "When the Clock Broke" by John Ganz and "Big Fiction" by Dan Sinykin.
