[PW] Re: Finding out about upcoming books?

[Kevin W. Woodruff]

I usuall go to Amazon.com and type the author's name, do a search and then sort by publication date that puts the newest books at the top many of which have not been released yet. It also helps with collection develpment to see what is coming out in a particular field or subject
