The biggest day in the publishing calendar has rolled around once more: Super Thursday is here again. ‘Super Thursday’ has become a staple of the British publishing landscape over the last few years as companies rush to gain those all important Christmas sales.
Over two hundred new hardback titles were released today, flooding bookshops with a host of celebrity autobiographies, fiction and cookery titles which are sure to make this year’s Christmas lists.
In a break from the patterns of the past few years, publishers have staggered some of their autumn releases in a bid to increase sales across the season.
Book makers are already giving odds on the top sellers this Christmas, with Jamie Oliver and the Guinness Book of Records currently leading the pack according to William Hill.

Hello Hannah!
I just ran across your blog and decided to contact you about my new philanthropic organization called Gone Reading International.
We market a line of unique gifts for readers and donate 100% of the profits to fund new libraries in the developing world. You can read more about us at www.GoneReading.com, or I can email a short “about us” document.
Any chance you can mention us in your blog???
We’re finding that readers love what we’re doing, but spreading the word on a philanthropic budget is a challenge! Let me know what you think, and thanks in advance for your time.
Regards,
Brad
P.S. In thanks I’m more than happy to list you in the “blogs we love” page we’re just about to publish! Just let me know…
