ABA, acronym for American Booksellers Association is the organism that nucleates booksellers from around the nation, and in their very nicely designed site you’ll be able to find lots of information on bookselling and the agenda of booksellers, independent, small and humungous. The site is packed with financial and management information/advice which will definitely be of great use not only to booksellers, but to Small Business owners in all trades.
You can also learn about the Shop Local initiatives, and learn why it is good ethics and sustainable to do your book purchases in your neighborhood book store. If you are a bookseller or publisher and would like to be listed in the directories of the ABA, or join the Association, you can do it through the website, and if you already are a registered member, consider submitting your store’s bestseller list to the site in order to make it easier for the association to monitor consumer trends and cater for them. The site also features an events calendar plus forums and discussion boards that gather booksellers from across the nation who join to exchange views and perspectives on bookselling and book trade.
