Eat. Sleep. Read.

The American Booksellers Association is working to promote independent bookstores across the country with its new website indiebound.org. The site has a search feature to let you find indie bookstores anywhere in the US, as well as a "Declaration of IndieBound." The tract (which includes the phrase "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all stores are not created equal") encourages folks to stare down the big chains and support plucky neighborhood businesses. Soon, the site will feature booklists, social networking, and bookstore event information.

To help promote indiebound.org we've got a Tshirt (like the one at right, but in red; size Large; click the image for more info) for the first reader/patriot to sign the declaration. Once you've signed, email me (here) and I'll set the shirt aside for you to pick up in our store.--David E
