BIOGRAPHY
PREMIUM Shelf Life: Chronicles of a Cairo BooksellerBy Nadia Wassef Wassef’s toughness and honesty will endear her to readers, who will surely champion her throughout this chronicle spanning marriage and divorce, the Egyptian revolution of 2011, the country’s first democratic election, and the author’s eventual decision to leave her role at Diwan to make space for the new. |

PREMIUM Smile: The Story of a FaceBy Sarah Ruhl A moving, insightful account that will appeal to many readers, especially those who like memoir. It will particularly engage readers interested in reflections on women in society or self-acceptance, and, of course, fans of Ruhl’s plays. |

| | | Emphasizing flexibility and functionality, Hess’s book will aid librarians who want to save time and energy when creating online learning content. | PREMIUM Along Came Google: A History of Library DigitizationBy Deanna Marcum & Roger C.

Will appeal to a broad readership and particularly to readers in the library and publishing worlds. |
