Putting the "Indie" in IndieBound

IndieBound, formerly Book Sense, has connected devoted readers, dedicated publishers and exceptional bookstores for over a decade since its creation by the American Booksellers Association (ABA). Now a thriving community known as IndieBound, the independent book movement is booming. Members of the community promote exceptional books via word of mouth and social networking. They also nourish their local economy by shopping at local, independently-owned bookstores. Their dedication to independent books and the IndieBound community guarantees that quality writers have a solid group of readers, even if the writers are lesser-known and unlikely to get published by major corporations or carried at major corporate bookstores.
