IndieBound is a vital part of the "local first" shopping movement and a network of independent bookstores that are committed to supporting local communities. By choosing to shop at indie bookstores, you are contributing to the well-being of your neighborhood. These businesses reinvest money into the community through taxes, payrolls, and purchases, which ultimately leads to better schools, parks, and public services.

IndieBound provides a platform for indie booksellers to communicate their essential role in local economies and communities. Through the Indie Next List and Indie Bestseller Lists, readers can find curated book recommendations from passionate independent booksellers all over the country. You can also support indie bookstores by entering your zip code to locate a nearby store and purchase books through its website. By clicking on the Bookshop buy button, you can purchase a book and contribute to the network of independent bookstores.

Join the movement and become an affiliate to earn commissions through IndieBound, or list your bookstore on the platform. IndieBound is dedicated to making a difference by promoting the importance of independent bookstores and the significant impact they have on local communities.
