What is Midlist?
Midlist是用来形容那些落入出版商的名单中间书术语。他们不是最畅销，他们是不是在底部。Midlist书有稳固的销售，但是还没有收到最畅销的地位。这并不让他们更读者有价值。
Why Offer More Than Bestsellers?
＃1原因是人们去图书馆的图书。图书馆是书推荐最值得信赖的来源。促进尚未到被发现收藏夹将标志着你为你的顾客书发现珍贵来源。需要更多的理由？这些怎么样：
- Library collections have a broad mix of genres from romance, mystery, and science fiction, to all the sub-genres of nonfiction. Your collections also need a broad mix of authors: bestselling, midlist and debut novelists.
- 有这么一个发达的midlist使您能够满足所有读者的需求，任何时候很多畅销书作家，一年只有一次发布。
- Bestsellers tend to have long waiting lists; a broad selection of midlist titles means more books on the shelves for your patrons to choose from.
- Many patrons prefer to read midlist or debuts over bestsellers because they are looking for something new or non-formulaic.
- Many midlist titles are series driven — your patrons can find a new favorite protagonist and follow the whole series.
“Any good RA librarian will tell you that the midlist is extremely important to readers. After all, when the bestseller books have 20 holds on them, librarians rely on great midlist titles to hand-sell to their patrons.”
— Rebecca Vnuk, editor,Booklist
