Check out the digital catalog on the Independent Bookstore Day website. The complete list of paid and free exclusives are included along with price point, images, and available quantity. Important Reminders: - Independent Bookstore Day is open to those who are members of ABA, as well as their regional booksellers association.
- Stores will not be able to order free items unless they order the minimum of 15 paid items. Without the 15 paid item minimum, stores will pay the shipping fee. Free items, Blackwing Pencils, and T-shirts do not count towards the 15-item minimum.
- Once the maximum quantity of an exclusive has been reached, “Sold Out” will appear next to the item on the order form and you will not be able to enter a quantity.
- Stores can add the sales cart to their websites on the morning of IBD.
- IndieCommerce and IndieLite stores will have more information regarding IBD on the platform in coming weeks.
- Due to supply chain issues, we will not be changing orders after the closing date of February 4.
- An Ingram Account number is required to order exclusives. Set up an account at Ingram Onboarding.
T-shirts and apparel are available for purchase on-demand on the IBD Bonfire website. Shipping will start on February 3 for any Bonfire orders. And don’t forget, we have added the “I Visited An Independent Bookstore” stickers to the list of freebies!
