On of the great take home messages of our day-- and the whole reason for this comment -- was an introduction to Indiebound (www.indiebound.com) and its efforts to unite and promote independent booksellers (and other retailers). <BR/><BR/>IndieBound offers an Affiliate program (like the one MotherReader mentioned at Amazon). I'm not sure yet if the benefits are the same, or as good, as at Amazon ... but the chance to support independent booksellers in our local communities is, as they say, priceless.<BR/><BR/>Here's a link to more details on MY blog: <BR/><BR/>http://lgburns.livejournal.com/110513.html<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>Loree Burns<BR/>www.loreeburns.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-39355618775897788782008-09-29T21:31:00.000-07:002008-09-29T21:31:00.000-07:00For real?
