Supporting Independent Bookstores
Publisher support helps get more books into the hands of the vital independent bookselling market. Four key ways to show support:
Tell ABA About Big Books
Help indies with pre-orders and send big book info to [email protected].
Help the Bottom Line
Offer terms for Indies Introduce and Indies First titles, to help improve store profitability.
Link to Indie Websites
Give readers a choice and link to a local indie or IndieBound.org for sales fulfillment; have your authors do the same.
Update Book Buyer's Handbook
Keep terms and policies current to improve efficiencies for everyone.
Printer-friendly versionOpportunities for Publishers
"I have the Book Buyer's Handbook open every day and use it for publisher terms, special offers, reps — you name it. It's an invaluable reference tool, especially to keep track of which publishers are on the move!"
