May 2008

Dear Librarian:

Welcome to the Spring/Summer 2008 edition of PENGUIN GROUP (USA)’s Advance Publication Newsletter. The newsletter includes late-breaking reviews, news of award-winners, and up-to-date information on prices, and book descriptions for our May throught August titles. We hope you will take some time to review the many new books included here.

As usual, the newsletter is divided into subject categories to route each section to your appropriate acquisitions and collection development specialists.

Some highlights:

• The Pulitzer Prize–winning author Steve Coll uncovers new information to show how American influences changed the Saudi family and how one member’s rebellion changed America in The Bin Ladens, available now from The Penguin Press. (see Current Events) • Riverhead welcomes Paula Uruburu’s American Eve, a scandalous story of America’s first supermodel, sex goddess, and modern celebrity, Evelyn Nesbit. (see History and Biography) • Dutton introduces bestselling author Harlan Coben’s fifteenth thriller, Hold Tight, which asks the burning question: how much do parents really want to know about their kids? Also, for the perfect beach read, pick up the aptly-titled The Beach House, from Viking. (see Fiction) • Putnam is excited to announce the first and only collection of unpublished works by Kurt Vonnegut released since his death—a fitting tribute to the author, and an essential contribution to the discussion of war, peace, and humanity’s tendency toward violence. (see Literature) • Gotham’s Letters to a Young Sister brings Hill Harper’s new vision for facing tough issues and becoming the architect of your own life to young women. (see Psychology and Health) • Daniel J. Levitin tunes us in to six evolutionary musical forms that provide a window into the human soul in The World in Six Songs, from Dutton. (see Science/Education/Reference) • In Ahead of the Curve, Philip Delves Broughton provides an incisive student’s-eye view into how the Harvard Business School creates elite, global businessmen and women, from The Penguin Press. (see Business)
