Bookseller
Summit
Maria, Shaun and Hannes will be meeting with 25 booksellers this
weekend in San Francisco. In addition to our annual summit, we
plan to meet with booksellers at each fair or festival we attend
this year, and to stagger the time of day for each Roundtable
chat so more booksellers can attend. We hope to see you soon!

New
Search Results Design
We tested a new layout for search results with a percentage of
visitors to the Web sites through December and January. We saw
a significant increase in the use of the refinements by moving
them from the right to the top of the page, so the new design
has been implemented for all users. Search
for any book to see the new layout.

- Rare & Antiquarian and Textbook E-mails
Maria and Marc, our rare & antiquarian and textbook
account managers, send out e-mail updates to these bookselling
segments when there’s segment-specific news about an event,
tip, or bookselling tool. If you'd like to receive the rare &
antiquarian update, send an e-mail
to Maria. If you'd like to receive textbook season updates,
let Marc know.
Updated
Catalog Policy
In order to improve file processing times and the buyer browsing
experience, booksellers are required to list no more than 100
catalogs. If you have more than 100, we'll be contacting you with
tips for reducing your count. [Catalog

 Customer
Support Tip
By Laura-Lea
Taking
Advantage of Keywords
Keywords are like a bonus field where you can enter any information
about a book that isn't included in the author, title or description.
Use them in different ways to make sure your books are found more
often. [View
