It can be a daunting task to keep track of new editions, young adult adaptations, and other aspects of nonfiction collection development. With this little corner of our newsletter, we share with you movie tie-in releases, young reader adaptations, titles that have undergone revisions, and more. For superseded editions, we link to both the previous and current EANs. Let us know if you find this section of the newsletter helpful and would like to see it continue in future issues!
