In response to the growing attacks on books across the country, the American Booksellers for Free Expression (ABFE) has organized a petition for independent booksellers and their customers to collectively condemn book banning and offer support to schools and libraries. Please share the petition with your bookselling colleagues to maximize its impact!

Decoding the P&L for Booksellers, Managers, and Owners was presented at the Fall 2022 Regional Shows.

A bookstore’s profit and loss statement (P&L) is a critical tool for evaluating a store’s overall performance. Join ABA staff on a walk-through of a bookstore P&L statement as we lay a groundwork for understanding bookstore financials, decode individual line items to identify opportunities for improved profitability, discuss how to use ABA’s ABACUS Report, and consider ways to share financials with staff in a meaningful and cooperative manner.

For logged in ABA member booksellers, below are downloadable assets for use in creating Indies Introduce displays in store including:

• Winter/Spring 2023 Indies Introduce Promotional One Sheet
• Excel Grid of Winter/Spring 2023 Indies Introduce Titles
• Indies Introduce Logos
