Hi, Carrie's idea sounds good to me because audible.com seems to have a
plethora of lists. Here's somei think would be interesting: essential
classics, essential Westerns, essential fantasy, essential horror, essential
mystery/detective fiction, essential espionage fiction, classic SF, humorous
fiction, etc. Of course once you figure out what is essential in each genre
(thissupposes someone can) then you can have lists for books which are
guilty pleasures, anything your heart desires. One can have a list of books
with the most cringe-worthy titles (can you think of any?) I'm wondering if
we could do a fun thing of coming up with collection names for Carrie. Maybe
romance fanciers can make up collection names so it will sound necessary.
Regards, Kim.

Hi Jamie,
Yep, that's the website I start at. I look at the top 10 books in
Hardcover Fiction,
Hardcover Nonfiction,
Paperback Trade Fiction,
Paperback Mass-Market Fiction, and
Paperback Nonfiction.
I ignore the Hardcover and Paperback Advice Books, the Hardcover and
Paperback Business Books, and Graphic Books lists.
I'll file a ticket with Engineering to create a kiddie bestseller list, and
start creating a list of which books I need to get. The outsourcers get a
couple hundred books each week, so adding in a few more won't be difficult.
There are thousands of lists of books. It would be easy to have someone
working on special collections full-time. Maybe I should suggest at the next
Collection Development meeting, run the idea up the flagpole and see if
anyone salutes... First though, we'd need the ability to create special
collections ourselves rather than relying on Engineering. I'm just musing,
don't think that this is imminent! It would be months off if it ever does
come to pass.
Carrie

I just sometimes go to:
http://www.nytimes.com/pages/books/bestseller/
and see what the bestsellers are from there. Where do you get your list
from? I would like to see all of the other types of children's lists.
Special collection lists are so much fun!
My library has some lists of special collections lists that I like to check
out (from this page)
