12 New Ecommerce Books for Spring 2023

Here’s a batch of new ecommerce books for spring. There are titles on brand development, B2B commerce, social enterprises, storytelling, influencer partnerships, startup design, and AI marketing.

I compiled this list using Amazon.com. From Amazon’s “Books” category, I selected “Business & Money.” From there I chose the “Processes & Infrastructure” sub-category and selected “E-commerce.” Then I handpicked titles from that group based on customer ratings and relation to ecommerce. I also selected a few titles from the “Business Development & Entrepreneurship” sub-category.
