It's shaping up to be the biggest book season in 20 years with more than 50 top name authors issuing new books. According to Copperfield's Book Buyer, Ty Wilson who has been in the book buying business since 1986, "I've never seen anything like it. This is the strongest fall in my memory."
"You have people like John Irving and Barbara Kingsolver coming out with new fiction, and then there's the nonfiction authors like Jon Krakauer, Richard Dawkins, and Malcolm Gladwell. And this is just the beginning..." Wilson continued.
Wendy Pearl, sales representative for Penguin Books agrees, “I've gotten feedback from all of my accounts that our list is the best they've ever seen. “ Penguin has books coming from Sue Monk Kidd, as well as authors Nick Hornby, Sue Grafton, Garrison Keillor, Stewart Brand, and Greg Mortenson.
