New York Magazine has a great piece on the independent bookstore, comparing it to your local bar. “Not only does everyone know your name, but they know what you like.” In this article they list the 14 best independent stores in NYC.

The importance of independent bookstores for helping boost authors exposure is immeasurable. We always advise our clients to head out to their local independents, introduce themselves, give copies of their book to the manager or salespeople, build a relationship by having signings and signing stock. These small efforts can sometimes pay off in a big way!
