Client New Releases March / April 2022

There are a lot of titles this time around, so I've arranged roughly in order of age category, from youngest to oldest.

Also, the dates listed are the scheduled publication dates. As the global supply chain issue continues to disrupt book printing, etc, there have been a lot of book delays! I'm trying to keep these as updated as possible, but be aware that sometimes publication dates change with very little notice. Click on the book image for more info, or to purchase the book & support independent bookstores! :-)
