Be a friend to the indies!

At Children's Book Press, we appreciate any means of bringing our books to our readers -- but we have a special place in our hearts for local independent booksellers, who have been huge supporters of the Press since its founding in 1975. This great post on the Emerging Leaders blog of the ABA (American Booksellers Association) lays out some excellent, thought-provoking points about independent booksellers and why they're so important. 
 
Also highlighted in this post is IndieBound, a website that maps bookstores and other independent retailers of all kinds around the country, with interactive maps.
