Enslow's Grammy Winners + Adele

Last night's 55th Grammy Awards event included a number of performers who are the subjects of Enslow Publisher biographies. Getting plenty of camera time were popular singer Taylor Swift, movie and music superstar Justin Timberlake, and vocally versatile Rihanna. A number of performers also cited Kanye West as an influence on their careers. Added to the glittering mix was relative newcomer Adele, whose repertoire includes the theme song to the newest James Bond movie, Skyfall.

Enslow offers 48-page biographies for these select five artists. Most are included in our "Hot Celebrity Biographies" series. This fall, Adele! will be among the biographies in Enslow's new "Sizzling Celebrities!" series.

With young readers' interest stimulated by the Grammys, you can fulfill their requests to read about their favorite performers with Enslow's fun, factually reliable celebrity biographies. You can order library-bound versions of these books today for $17.95 per title; that price represents a 25% discount from Enslow's list price for each title. Paperback versions of each title may be purchased for $7.95. (Adele! will not be available for sale in any version until later this year.)

Also, librarians and media specialists can purchase directly from Enslow Publishers multi-user versions of the e-book for the Taylor Swift biography (written by award-winning author Jeff Burlingame) and Rihanna biography. The price for this item is $22.95 per multi-user e-book; that price represents a 25% discount from Enslow's list price for these books and is limited to school/library institutional purchases.
