Save the date! May 2nd, 2015 is Independent Bookstore Day and we're going to have quite a party. Publishers are making certain limited-edition items available for sale through bricks-and-mortar bookstores such as ourself on that day. We can't accept pre-orders for these items -- it's first come, first-serve -- and you won't be able to order them online until several weeks after the event. However, I could use your help deciding what to stock. Here are a few that looked interesting to us:
