Beginning tomorrow, we'll solicit  readers' thoughts on the "Best Book Ever" for the News & Record’s books page.

Yup, we're bringing it back once every two weeks as part of the Sunday Ideas section, effective Sept. 20.

The page will include reviews, author interviews, features and a variety of specialty columns.

Among other regular offerings will be excerpts from the new News & Record book blog, Page Turners, a column from the Greensboro Public Library and profiles of area book clubs.

The page will emphasize local and regional authors but will include noteworthy national books and authors.

Our goal is to return the content readers missed from the old books pages, which were eliminated last year, while attracting new readers as well.

As for the reader solicitation, here is a sneak preview:

Tell us your favorite book of all time in 50 words or fewer, and we’ll publish the best of the responses in the debut edition of the new page.

Entries automatically will be entered into a drawing for three $50 gift certificates.

Include your name, address and a daytime phone number.

E-mail your responses to edpage@news-record.com or mail them to Best Book Ever, News & Record, 200 East Market St., Greensboro, NC 27401. Entries also may be faxed to 412-5920.

The deadline for entries is noon on Wednesday, Sept. 9.
