From the organisers of the Spread the Word campaign:
Thousands of books are published every year, and only a small percentage makes the mark that it should.
The World Book Day team team asked publishers large and small to submit books they thought deserved to reach a wider readership – most specifically those that would make good subjects for discussion, those that don’t merely entertain, but give greater food for thought.
Catch a Fish from the Sea (Using the Internet) was voted into the Final Top Ten.
