Top 50 Titles Selling on IndieCommerce Sites: Antiracism Leads the Chart [5]
- By Sydney Jarrard [6]
Independent bookstores across the country are seeing antiracism titles fly off the shelves. As publishers return to print for out-of-stock titles, booksellers have the advantage of hand-selling (whether in-person, by phone, or by email) alternative titles to customers in search of works that have sold out. See the book lists that publishers have created on Edelweiss to identify further reading [7].
