February 2010 Indie Next List
Out now, the Indie Next List for February!
We have videos for Adam Haslett's debut novel Union Atlantic, Susan Blake's new novel The Postmistress, and Chris Bohjalian's Secrets of Eden.
Listen to NPR stories on The Postmistress, Little Bee by Chris Cleave, and Shadow Tag, the new novel from Louise Erdrich.
On this novel-heavy list, don't miss these memoirs: Settled in the Wild by Susan Hand Shetterly, Brenda Peterson's I Want To Be Left Behind, and A Common Pornography by Kevin Sampsell.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
