 IndieBound has created a handy, new guide for booksellers who have been longing to take advantage of the wealth of customizable materials in the Bookseller Do-It-Yourself, but who have been afraid to take the plunge.
 Here's a preview of the November Indie Next List now on its way to ABA member stores in the IndieBound movement.

The "Tell-a-Bookseller-Friend" Indie Next List Nomination Challenge encourages past contributors to tell bookseller friends who have never nominated a title to the lists just how easy it is to do.
The Indie Next List for Reading Groups for Fall '08/Winter '09 will be arriving in bookstores in the IndieBound movement in the October Red Box mailing; however, the full list, with bookseller quotes, can be previewed online now.

For the eight-week period ending September 23, 2008, and based on sales at independent stores nationwide.
