Working on your summer reading list? Here is a list of new ecommerce and Internet-marketing books for summer 2012. There are new titles on social media, handcrafted Pinterest businesses, search engine optimization, and even a title on creating short product videos.

This list was compiled using Amazon.com. From Amazon’s "Books" category, I selected “Browse Subjects” and chose the "Business & Investing" sub-category. From there, I selected "Industries & Professions," and chose "E-commerce." Then I handpicked titles from that group, based on customer ratings and relation to ecommerce.
