Yes, 4 December is the day when you can read the new Christmas issue of Shiny New Books. This is actually our 'inbetweeny' issue -- more of an update before the next full one, our fourth, comes out in January. But there's a beautifully festive theme -- the books have been decorated and even the logo has sprouted a spring of holly -- and there are lots of new reviews, BookBuzz items, and a Christmas quiz. Get over there and check it out -- plenty of ideas for Christmas presents, for yourself and your nearest and dearest.
