12 New Ecommerce Books for Fall 2018

Fall is here, and with it comes a new batch of ecommerce books. There are titles on big data, engagement, digital marketing, copywriting, branding, artificial intelligence, digital currencies, and drop shipping.

I compiled this list using Amazon. From the “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. In addition, I selected a few titles from the “Small Business & Entrepreneurship” sub-category.
