"Central Booking makes finding a good book as easy as buying a loaf of bread," said Smokler. "Foremost on any reader's mind is 'what should I read next and will I like it?' Foremost on a publisher's mind is 'how do we connect to readers in the most intimate way possible?' Central Booking is the virtual neighborhood bookstore where they meet and satisfy these questions." Central Booking's new features both empower readers to make intelligent choices about their next book purchase and aid publishers in marketing to a highly desirable demographic of avid readers of quality contemporary literature. New features available at the site now include: Syndicated book and publishing news: Through it's Re:Read weblog, Central Booking will harvest daily news items about the latest books, the publishing industry and lifestyle features of interest to avid readers. Web publishers can syndicate Central Booking's daily news feed through easy-to-intergrate .XML techonlogy used by news services such as Moreover and Weblogs.com Chapter One: Through its relationships with major publishing houses, Central Booking will offer "Chapter One" excerpts of the latest in quality contemporary literature. These sample chapters (or excerpts) will enable readers to preview the best in contemporary literature, before they buy it, greatly reducing the confusion that comes with walking into a bookstore and not knowing what to read next -- the case for over half of the nation's book consumers. Online author conversations: Central Booking's series of online author conversations, which allows readers to converse intimately with writers such as bestselling crime novelist George Pelecanos and 25-year-old publishing sensation Jonathan Safran Foer, through Central Booking's message board discussion forums. Conversations will be expanded to a monthly feature and include literary fiction and non-fiction authors making news in publishing today. "With a dwindling supply of independent bookstores and book sections in newspapers being cut, the need for a trusted source for avid readers is greater than ever," said Smokler. "Central Booking's audience of savvy bibliophiles grew up in the age of the Internet and trust it implicitly as a medium of cultural matchmaking. And they trust Central Booking because we are dedicated readers of quality contemporary literature, just like them." Central
Booking (http://www.centralbooking.com)
is the web's premier destination for lovers of books, reading and contemporary
literature. Through intelligent reviews and interviews, deep resource libraries
and lively community features, Central Booking has, since 1999, been an
indispensable resource for the discerning reader. Central Booking is based
in San Francisco and is a project of the Vision Foundation.
