Will help us manage aggressive readers for hot authors.

A comment from an academic library perspective: we have a somewhat similar use case. Part of our mission is to help keep our faculty up-to-date in their fields, so we send monthly emails to each department with new books in their disciplines. However, we identify the disciplines using call number ranges, so they wouldn't necessarily correspond to a catalog search.
