[Publib] Re: Publib Digest, Vol 53, Issue 61

[Beth Andersen]

Baker and Taylor's Booking Ahead includes some print runs of upcoming
titles. They used to have a lot more, but you can still find quite a few. BA
is published once a month toward the end of the previous month (September
2009 was just released). You can sign up to receive BA via email.

B&T's Title Source website also lists quite a few print runs. Check both the
Detail and the Publisher Content tabs.

LJ sometimes includes print runs in their PrePub lists.

PW very occasionally will list print runs in their reviews.

Fast Facts, a weekly B&T publication, includes some print runs. Again, you
can

HTH.
