I put together a very red, white and blue display table with books about independence and independents, using the Indiebound materials. Anyone in Boulder can come see it at Troubadour Books.




IndieBound Great blog entry on why you should shop indie, and how to be a friend to your indie bookstores!

I've worked at independent bookstores for more than half my life, for the past several years as a buyer and events person at an indie in San Francisco. My family also owns a different small independent bookstore here in the city. ...

Excellent article!

Words bookstore in Maplewood, NJ is really terrific at supporting local writers and small publishing houses. They spotlighted participants' books at a recent Writers Group reading and they want to pre-order my sister's book which is being produced by a small press (When Love Was Clean Underwear by Susan Barr-Toman). I buy there whenever I can.


IndieBound Just uploaded some photos to our Flickr photostream. All you bookstores with IndieBound displays—especially DIY stuff you've created!—send it my way and I'll ad it to the stream (paige@bookweb.org).

Kasey Cox All independent bookstores be on the watch!! Borders has been caught violating "Street Smart" dates on a new summer romance book due out TOMORROW! Check the Borders in your area (if you are unfortunate enough to have one nearby) for "Real Men Last All Night" by Lora Leigh, Lori Foster, and 2 others. Then call St. Martin's/Griffin Press, a subsidiary of MacMillan (they have an 800 on their website) to report yours!

Daniel Nester
Daniel Nester, writer person, here. Short note to say if you plan to order/carry/sell my new book, How to Be Inappropriate, a humorous nonfiction collection coming out this Fall from Soft Skull Press/Counterpoint, we have some goodies we can send along: How to Be Inappropriate-themed whoopee cushions, mooning stickers, and posters and flyers. Some of these you could sell along with the book as a freebie; others you could leave around the store.
Book website (still being built): http://www.howtobeinappropriate.com

Jonathan Maberry The Liars Club is throwing another party for an indie bookstore. This month it's Clinton Books in NJ. Here's the skinny: http://liarsclubphilly.com/?p=63


Iris DeMello I'd like to highly recommend children's books, written by Roni Schotter --especially--DOO-WOP POP, THE HOUSE OF JOYFUL LIVING and MAMA, I'LL GIVE YOU THE WORLD. Roni Schotter is the author of NOTHING EVER HAPPENS ON 90TH STREET, used a lot in schools to model writing, and of THE BOY WHO LOVED WORDS which won the Parents Choice Award.


IndieBound Really awesome updates to IndieBound.org today—pass it on!

Our theme for this round of updates (yes, we picked a theme...) is "Pass it On." We've rolled out a number of significant changes to IndieBound.org to give you more ways than ever before to spread the Shop Indie message.


Geoffrey Philp I have to thank Mitch Kaplan, who hosted a reading of my short stories, Who's Your Daddy?, at Books & Books last night. Mitch has been a great supporter of Indie publishers such as Peepal Tree Press, and the many writers who live/work in South Florida.
