Dear FYE Participants,
We are delighted to present the fourth edition of Penguin’s
First Year Experience catalog, and excited to continue the connection between our great books and authors and your cam-pus-wide and common reading programs. Penguin Group,
the largest trade book publisher in college markets, possesses
the world’s most prestigious list of contemporary authors
and a backlist of unparalleled breadth, depth, and quality.
I’m happy to assist you in any way possible with choice
of titles, free examination copies, questions about author
availability, and pricing discounts (see page 67). You’re
also welcome to contact your Penguin College rep directly.
Unique to trade publishing, our college reps have assisted
countless schools across the country in picking the perfect
book for their FYE programs. We are also happy to connect
you to our Penguin Speakers Bureau, with whom we work
very closely. For more details see page 66.
We have thousands of other titles available that we are unable to list here, and our team is ready to work with you
to find that perfect book for your campus. To get the ball
rolling and to request free exam copies, simply e-mail me at
Naomi.Weinstein@us.penguingroup.com.
Sincerely,
Naomi Weinstein
Manager, Academic Marketing
