The highlight of Monday's issue is our selection of the 100 best books of 2010, broken down into several different categories. We start the News off with an indepth look at how independent presses have benefited from picking up talented authors dropped by the larger houses. A second story looks at how the year old press, Tyrus Books, has managed to be ahead of plan in a difficult time. The creation and development of Tor.com also draws a lengthy piece, and George Slowik reports on the annual Book City conference just held in South Korea. The Retail section examines what's ahead for the regional bookseller associations in a time of transition. The Soapbox addresses how authors can help themselves.
