Indies an 'Integral Part of Getting Print to People'

Shelf Awareness

"What a great time of the year! We have just finished the holidays and are right before Winter Institute 9. As far as I can tell, it was a very positive season for many of us. Many stores had record sales during the holidays. I read about best single days in store history, best holiday seasons, and best years for many stores (BookPeople had its two best single days and fourth consecutive best year).
It is this sort of news that makes us know that print is here for the very long term and that we are an integral part of getting print to people."

--Steve Bercu, ABA president and co-owner of BookPeople, Austin, Tex., from his "First Letter of 2014" in Bookselling This Week
