Keeping up with New Book Publishing in Your Area

Many publishers will send you email alerts or provide rss feeds of their new titles. A substantial list of publishers can be found here and you need to check out the website of each publisher of interest.

You can also set up new book alerts by subject through amazon.com or Books in Print - in each case you will need to register yourself and provide your email address, then run a search to identify the sorts of books you wish to be notified of.
