Though much of the country is still in winter's icy grip, spring has already sprung for audio publishers who are rolling out their new titles for the season ahead. The breadth of audio offerings continues to grow, in keeping with the recent Audio Publishers Association member survey that indicated a healthy 5.1% increase in total sales in 2003. Other types of expansion are evident as well—imprints Gildan Audio, Baby Berlitz and American Media International/Field & Stream Audio are making spring debuts.
Some of the highly anticipated titles of season include Specimen Days by Michael Cunningham (Audio Renaissance), The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kid (Penguin Audio), Malcolm Gladwell's Blink (Time Warner AudioBooks), and former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer's Taking Heat (HarperAudio).
Happy listening!

Jane Fonda, Oscar winner, political activist and the inspiration for so many aerobics-style legwarmers in the '80s, offers a candid portrait of the triumphs and disappointments that have been a part of My Life So Far(Random House Audio).
In between whipping up culinary delights, dinners out and episodes of Iron Chef, foodies and nutrition buffs can take a listen to two new entertaining entries. Author and editor-in-chief of Gourmet magazine Ruth Reichl describes her spy-like adventures as a former restaurant critic for the New York Times in her latest memoir Garlic and Sapphires (Random House Audio). Donning various disguises to remain incognito, Reichl discovers that her character and appetites were often altered right along with her wigs and outfits.
