The New Sales & Account Management Team
We're sad to announce that Sue Connors, Director of Sales & Account Management, has accepted an opportunity with another company. After almost 8 years with AbeBooks, we're sad to see her go, but wish her well with her new career. [Read Sue's goodbye message.] Shaun Jamieson is re-joining the team with Jordan, Marc and Maria to work with our booksellers in the coming year. You can meet all of them during the Roundtable on January 18th.

Coming Soon: LibraryThing Recommendations
Buyers have always loved how easy it is to search for a book on AbeBooks, but people unsure of what to buy have been less successful browsing. Starting next month, we'll display recommendations from LibraryThing on the Listing Details page, below your book details, to help browsers find more books they're interested in. The recommendations are based on the books read and owned by LibraryThing users. [Check out a screenshot.]

Bookseller Survey 2006
Thank you to all of our booksellers who participated in our Bookseller Survey! More than 3,000 of you told us about your stores, your inventory, and your hopes for the future of bookselling. We're compiling the results now, and will share them with you soon.

Multi-ISBN Search in Textbook Central
We've added a multi-ISBN search to Textbook Central so that time-crunched students can enter their textbook ISBNs on one screen and then quickly add the lowest-priced copies to their basket with one click. We hope to see more multi-item orders with the introduction of this feature.

Search Refinements Test
Ten percent of visitors over the last month have seen the newly-designed search results page and the results have been very positive. Today, we're making some small changes to the text on the test page and will continue testing for another few weeks. After that, we'll determine whether to launch the new design to all visitors. Watch the next Digest for updates!
