September 2010 Indie Next List

Out now, the Indie Next List for September!

We have book trailers for The Gendarme by Mark T. Mustain, The Tiger by John Vaillant, and Anne Fortier's Juliet, and The Cailiffs of Baghdad, Georgia by Mary Helen Stefaniak.

Listen to NPR stories on Jonathan Franzen's much-anticipated new novel Freedom, and The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elisabeth Tova Bailey.

Reading Group Choices brings you reading group guides for Room by Emma Donoghue, and Russian Winter by Daphne Kalotay.

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.
