Home > Librarians@Random > Backlist Gems


 

We are pleased to present you with some Backlist Gems—treasures published prior to this year that folks wanted to bring front and center again! What a terrific way to remind our librarian friends about these gems, we thought. And at the same time, we could help meet collection development needs, too.

So, this is the place to come and be reminded of the many great backlist gems that are available from Random House Children's Books. If you have a favorite that you want to remind people of just email us at schoolandlibrarymarketing@randomhouse.com and we'll do our best to get them posted

It couldn't have been easy settling America and paving the way for many to come . . . but these experiences sure make for great reading! Settle into this month’s Backlist Gems.
