In Canada, almost all hardcover sales take place in the few months
before Christmas.   A bestseller in December is worth many times
a bestseller in June.

So publishers in Canada will often hold a book they expect to do
well to appear in the gift season.

In the US, this is not so much the case.  People buy books all year
round there.
