| Abstract: | The rhythm of publishers’ marketing efforts is dictated by an entirely outmoded historic model of publication of seasonal
lists. Publishers should recognize that market conditions that drove this cycle are long gone and adjust to the realities
of the 1990s. Properly used, many of today’s technology tools can assist publishers in building and exploiting the “communities
of interest” that are the stock-in-trade of every book marketer.
