For the first time, some of the most used (and useful) information from Publishers Marketplace is available in print, in an essential book for deal-makers and deal-followers that's the first in an ongoing series.

BOOK DEALS: 2004 gathers together nearly 3,250 deals from last year in a single oversized volume, organizing them and indexing them to provide at-a-glance and in-depth windows on the deal world that you can't get from electronic searching.

In the main text, deals are arranged by subject; within each sub-category, deals are sorted by imprint, deal size, and editor. Five detailed indices catalog all deals by agent (with authors listed); author (with agents cross-referenced); editor (with authors listed); publisher; and title. A special section organizes all the film and television deals from the year.

Up-front, you'll also find a special analysis of 137 debut fiction deals, comparing price ranges to all fiction sales, analyzing seasonality month-to-month, breaking down the numbers of pre-empts and auctions, and more -- and showing by example the kind of detailed analysis readers can for the first time perform on their own using this book. Another "extra" presents the 100 Most Reviewed Books and 100 Most Review Publishers from 2004.

For everyone who finds our weekly deal reports essential, BOOK DEALS: 2004 does the same for the entire year, with the considerable added power of more detailed breakdowns and organization, indices, and more. It's the most comprehensive compilation and breakdown of data on deals, agents, editors, prices and patterns ever produced and should serve as a terrific tool.

BOOK DEALS: 2004 costs $100.00 per copy, including USPS Priority Mail shipping within the U.S. FedEx 2-day shipping and international shipping are available at extra cost.
