Here are new ecommerce and Internet-marketing books for winter 2012. There are new titles on social media, conversion optimization, entrepreneurship, email marketing, and content creation.
I compiled this record using 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, publication date, and relevance.
