Fall 2010 e-Catalog

Welcome to our first exclusively electronic catalog of upcoming books. We've offered a PDF version of our catalogs before, but this one is different. It's been built from the ground up to be read online, and offers a variety of features not possible in a print catalog. Sure, it looks nice on screen, allowing you to flip through as you would a printed brochure; but under the classy exterior, you'll find a host of useful features. For example:

  • To read items from the book or excerpts, click on any book title and you’ll be taken to that book's Web detail page.
  • Virtually anything in color and all series and subject listings are live links, taking you to more information on that item or topic.
  • Viewing the catalog in Full Screen Mode allows you to read full page spreads without magnifying.
  • Watch the ticker! As books are published, new online materials become available, or any additional information about titles becomes available, you can stay up-to-date with our News Ticker at the top of the page.
  • Create a Wish List of titles you’d like to revisit, and you can print it or e-mail it to anyone you like.
  • If you want to save more details, you can create a new PDF or printout of just the books you want.
  • You can share a single book, or the entire catalog, via e-mail or on social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn.
