What should I put here?

Ignore this if you are a first time author.

We are not really interested in self-published books, or books with sales in tens or hundreds - it helps to know about them, but we will not be featuring them unless they have had excellent reviews or critical impact of some kind. The bookshop just looks up sales of your previous titles, and if the figures are low, they are not going to consider stocking the one we bring out with you, however hard we try and push it.

WHICH SHOULD I PUT DOWN?

For anything that will encourage the sales people (1,000+ sales), add title, publisher, ISBN and date. If you have published many books, put down the top three.

DO ARTICLES COUNT?

We are only interested in articles if it is an academic work.
