Posted on Pope StNickV

I have three pre-publication suggestions, one today and two more forthcoming, for Catholic reference books. As my library system has limited purchase suggestions to books published in the past 6 months, I have learned to scout pre-publication titles at Amazon.

Check to see if this title is already in your library's catalog. If it is, put ahold on it and check it out. If not, fill out a patron request form right away.This can usually be done online at your library's website.
