"I’ve heard it said that summer’s a great time for summer reading, but it’s also a great time to sit down with that one nonfiction book that you want to take the time to read. Maybe it’s transitioning a little bit, but fall is definitely the big time to sell books. That’s when everybody gears up and starts scheduling their huge books."
