Best Books is drawing ever closer. To mark the moment, we highlight another gem from 2022 as we countdown to our December reveal.

Publisher Roger Jänecke talks with LJ about Visible Ink’s distinctive approach to reference.

Holly La Due, Princeton Architectural Press's editorial director, talks with LJ about the publisher’s reputation for identifying trends, visual culture, and broadening its scope of titles.

A Man of Two Faces by Viet Thanh Nguyen is slated to be published in October. While the Pulitzer Prize–winning author is known for both his novels and his works of nonfiction, this is the first time he has written a memoir. LJ Associate Editor Jill Cox-Cordova invited him to reflect on the genre, posing prompts to explore what was different about this new form and his thought process as he worked.

From a quirky book on geology to a collection of maps, these reference works expand the possibilities of research for students, general readers, and scholars.
