Booksellers can also order 2019 Independent Bookstore Day shirts, which were designed by Jane Mount, author of Bibliophile: An Illustrated Miscellany (Chronicle) and founder of Ideal Bookshelf. The illustration features a collection of IBD-exclusive titles from the past five years. Shirts are available in many styles, colors, and sizes.
