Independent Bookstore Day Adapts to Covid By Ed Nawotka and Claire Kirch | Apr 20, 2021
Independent Bookstore Day, administered by the American Booksellers Association, takes place this coming Saturday, April 24. More than 740 stores are participating, which is up from last year’s event, which was moved from April to August, and attracted 650 stores. As is customary, a catalog of exclusive items will be for sale, including signed editions of
Sharks in the Time of Saviors by Kawai Strong Washburn (Picador) and
Cook, Eat, Repeat by Nigella Lawson (HarperCollins); a stencil with the George Orwell quote, “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act;” and a box of IBD branded Blackwing Pencils, among other items.
