Here's a preview of the April Indie Next List, now on its way to ABA member stores in the IndieBound movement.
With the Eat, Sleep, Read poster well on its way to iconic status, IndieBound is offering some unique variations, and easy ways to obtain them.
The American Booksellers Association has been named to the 2009 Associations Advance America Honor Roll, a national awards competition sponsored by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) and the Center for Association Leadership in Washington, D.C. ABA was honored for IndieBound, the community-oriented movement, launched in May 2008, which brings together booksellers, readers, indie retailers, local business alliances, and anyone else with a passionate belief that healthy local economies help communities thrive.
The March Indie Next List Notables feature great fiction and nonfiction titles recommended by indie booksellers nationwide. In addition, POP materials for in-store displays -- electronic files in PDF format of both the March Indie Next List Notables flier and shelf-talkers -- are now available on BookWeb.org.
 One of several new features recently introduced on IndieBound.org makes many IndieBound marketing materials freely available to non-ABA-member retail businesses, such as independently owned bicycle shops, toy stores, and gift and home shops.
For the eight-week period ending February 24, 2009, and based on sales at hundreds of independent bookstores nationwide.
