Publishers always look forward to fall with anticipation (and some trepidation) as the biggest season for releasing new books. These days all of us might be longing for fall, if it gives a respite from this summer’s wild weather and plethora of natural disasters. With e-book sales continuing to rocket up, and the pervasive uncertainty in the publishing industry, no one can tell what the new publishing year (which, like school, starts in September) will bring. All that is certain is that more innovation and the continuing dogged pursuit of good books will be at the top of everyone’s to-do list.
