This week's sponsor is Holtzbrinck Publishers, the parent company of many famous imprints including St. Martin’s Press, Henry Holt & Co., Picador, Tor, Thomas Dunne, Farrar, Straus & Giroux, Audio Renaissance, and St. Martin’s Minotaur.

Shortly after Holtzbrinck started up a Library Marketing arm I met Talia Ross and Michael Coons at the Ohio Library Council 2005 exhibits floor. They were, and remain, some of the nicest, most approachable and helpful folks that ever graced a publisher's booth. We love working with them, and we think you will too.

And besides, they're featuring Holtzbrinck-published "Pearl's Picks" (from our pal Nancy) on their home page. This month's selection: Susanna Clarke’s excellent Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norell. So head on over and see what they're up to.
