With this issue, Shelf Awareness introduces Maximum Shelf, a monthly feature that focuses on an upcoming title that we love and believe will be a great handselling opportunity for booksellers everywhere. This edition centers on Alice I Have Been: A Novel by Melanie Benjamin, which Delacorte is publishing in January, a fictional account of the life of Alice Liddell, the basis for Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. The review and interviews are by Marilyn Dahl. Delacorte has helped support the issue.
