Recently we have launched a project of putting together a series of articles entitled "An Insight Into the Current State of Independent Bookselling" - with contributions by a selected list of guest bloggers. If you'd be interested in more info or in establishing some form of cooperation with our blog, drop us a line at:<br />bookstoreguide AT gmail.com<br /><br />And good luck with your project...<br /><br />Ivan + Sonja (www.bookstoreguide.org)Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14609803039863004020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490195752316547381.post-3344482607284424832009-06-29T14:57:43.570-07:002009-06-29T14:57:43.570-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490195752316547381.post-9294115192652056412009-06-26T09:21:45.045-07:002009-06-26T09:21:45.045-07:00I cannot agree more!

They TOLD me what to do! And they accepted by first little book, got me a distributor, bought my books, promoted my books. Borders could barely shelf them in the right place.

I'm also a San Franciscan.<br /><br />I'll confess, I'd like more reciprocity from the bookstores. If I have to plead with a local branch of, say, Books Inc, or Keplers, to carry my titles - and these aren't small press titles, I'm on St. Martins Minotaur - it sours me on telling people to please order their copies from those shops. I'm more likely to tell them to shop somewhere that is willing to support me without my haranguing them.<br /><br />I much prefer indies to big chains or online, but that kind of loyalty should work both ways, surely?DebGrabienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12131305876462308446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490195752316547381.post-19322586496927156882009-06-23T14:44:25.147-07:002009-06-23T14:44:25.147-07:00This is so great!
