PressMediaWire - (New York, New York) - Arbor Books (www.arborbooks.com), a backbone of the independent publishing movement for more than a decade, has compiled a list of some of its favorite titles to help consumers get right to the good stuff this holiday season.

"Our brief list of suggestions is a fun way to highlight some of the best books produced by the independent presses we've worked with--and a way to help consumers sort through the thousands of titles released each year," says Joel Hochman, co-founder of Arbor Books.

This year's list includes children's books, wealth-building books, personal memoirs and holiday-specific titles, and covers the entire family when it comes to genres and reading levels. According to Mr. Hochman's partner, Larry Leichman, "This list gives the whole family something to look forward to."

The independent publishers on the recommended reading list for this holiday season hail from around the country. The authors come from around the world.

"The presses that Arbor Books works with are very special," says Mr. Leichman. "Just as the independents in the music, film, theater and art industries forge new paths, making available works and titles that would not be available to consumers otherwise, so do these independents in the publishing field, and we're proud of each and every one of them."

Author offer tips to keep job-seeking skills sharp

High unemployment continues. I suspect, in fact, that it's far worse than official statistics indicate. How many people, for whatever reason, neglect to apply for benefits or participate in other programs used to compile the data?

Regardless, it's always worthwhile to keep job-seeking skills sharp. Clarifying and defining career goals, strategies and tactics are useful ways to maintain forward motion. Several recent books offer advice and support in this never-ending quest.

Blueprint Your Future: Creating Powerful Personal and Career Results through Alignment and Action. Susan Bosscawen. Butterfly Publishing. 69 pages.

Bosscawen's little gem cuts through the virtual field of bovine droppings with a really incisive collection of self-assessments to help readers figure out what to do with the rest of their lives. She smartly eschews feel-good pop psychology and new age mumbo jumbo in favor of direct action. But considerable thought and informed decision-making are demanded from the reader; this is no passive experience, and so it consequently may not be for everyone. But if you need to gain a clearer idea of your choices as you move on to the next chapter in your career, this is an excellent place to begin the job.
