Chris Barash is Chair of the Book Selection Committee, a group of five tasked with the job of finding eight new books in eight age groups to send out each month. The books come from a variety of sources, as Barash explains: “Some come from new manuscripts that we receive—we get about 20 per month from authors, some from publishers and occasionally from an agent.” Some are books that are published or contracted to be published, others are out of print and have been tracked down or recommended, yet others are unpublished manuscripts sent in by hopeful authors.
