Edelweiss Book Lists

The purpose of the Edelweiss Book Lists is to gather titles around designated themes and awareness months to share with booksellers and librarians. These title lists are timed with buying seasons to help stores and librarians make relevant books available to their communities. 
​

Publishers can submit up to two titles per imprint for free to each list. Once reviewed to fit the theme, the title list will be highlighted on our site and in upcoming Bookseller and Librarian newsletters for U.S. users. View all the finalized lists here.
