The '''Books Editor ''' is an officer within the [[Communications|Communications Department]] of The Augustan Society, Inc., who is responsible for editing and publishing books, including both hardcover and softcover, and for assisting the [[Marketing Committee]] in publicizing and marketing the books. He is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the [[Editor-in-Chief]].
The Books Editor serves as a member of the [[Communications Committee]]. He may at his discretion appoint editors for specific books. Should there be such book editors, they and the Books Editor will serve as a [[Books Committee]].
Rolls of Arms are specifically excluded from his survey, these being the responsibility of the [[Rolls Editor]], but it may prove beneficial to attach the Rolls Editor to this office rather than directly to the Editor-in-Chief.
It is not presently contemplated that books will be published electronically. Any decision to do so would suggest the need for an E-Books Editor, as the skills and requirements differ substantially.
