A Crucial Time for Bestseller Reporting

Along with wishes for a busy holiday season, the American Booksellers Association sends a reminder to member stores that it’s also a crucial time to demonstrate to the industry the power of independents by reporting to the Indie Bestseller List.

Help ABA show the world what independent booksellers are selling, and what consumers are purchasing during this important retail season. Report this week and every week.

There is no change in Bestseller reporting deadlines this week. The reporting site is open from Sunday, November 28, at 12:00 a.m. EST until the time noted below – for the seven-day period of Sunday, November 21, through Saturday, November 27.
