The Word From Paige

March 2010 Indie Next List

Out now, the Indie Next List for March!

We have videos for Phyllis Theroux's memoir The Journal Keeper and Henning Mankell's new Kurt Wallander mystery The Man from Beijing.

Listen to NPR stories on The Hole We're In by Gabrielle Zevin, Colm Toibin's Brooklyn, and Making Toast by Roger Rosenblatt.

Explore new worlds through the March Indie Next List: the trials of the Donner Party in Gabrielle Burton's Impatient With Desire, a zeppelin in a Shakespeare-tinted alternate reality in Dexter Palmer's The Dream of Perpetual Motion, the absurdity of creative writing workshops in After the Workshop by John McNally, and the underground world of the Nephilim in Daniell Trussoni's Angelology.

Find the printed list at an independent bookstore near you. We're also offering a print-at-home version, found on the Indie Next List page directly beneath the carousel of titles, so you can read at home and take it to your local indie.

Happy reading!






Why shop Indie?

When you shop at an independently owned business, your entire community benefits:

The Economy
  • Spend $100 at a local and $68 of that stays in your community. Spend the same $100 at a national chain, and your community only sees $43.
  • Local businesses create higher-paying jobs for our neighbors.
  • More of your taxes are reinvested in your community--where they belong.
The Environment
  • Buying local means less packaging, less transportation, and a smaller carbon footprint.
  • Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money to beautify your community.
The Community
  • Local retailers are your friends and neighbors—support them and they’ll support you.
  • Local businesses donate to charities at more than twice the rate of national chains.
  • More independents means more choice, more diversity, and a truly unique community.

Now is the time to stand up and join your fellow individuals in the IndieBound mission supporting local businesses and celebrating independents.

IndieBound supports Independent Business Alliances around the country. To find an alliance near you, visit AMIBA or BALLE.
