The Indie Bestseller List puts the diversity of independent bookstores on display. The list is produced just two days after the end of the sales-week, and is the most current snapshot of what’s selling in indie bookstores nationwide. The list is useful for creating displays and checking inventory levels of key titles. Hardcover, paperback, mass market and children's titles each are compiled into separate category lists. Post the Indie Bestseller List in your store, include it in your newsletter, and share the information with your local media. Available in Word, HTML, and PDF formats, and organized by format and genre. 

ABA produces a national weekly Indie Bestseller List, eight regional weekly Indie Bestseller Lists, and periodic specialty Indie Bestseller Lists.
