Booksellers name their top tips for Christmas 2011

Publishers and booksellers are already gearing up for Christmas and are expecting strong sales across a wide range of titles.  Like every year a large number of books are vying to be the most popular in our stockings on Christmas morning.  These include James Corden’s autobiography May I Have Your Attention Please?, Rob Brydon’s Small Man in a Book and Jamie Oliver’s new cookbook Jamie’s Great Britain.  It’s a bit disheartening to see so many celebrity based books likely to be at the top of the sales charts but at the same time Carol Ann Duffy’s The Christmas Truce has also been picked by a number of booksellers so maybe it’s not all bad news after all.
