Celebrate--and Visit--Independent Booksellers on May 1, 2009

The good folks over at The Outfit Collective, an oft-visited, celebrated blog examining life and crime in Chicago, will be celebrating BUY INDIE DAY in style on Friday, May 1, 2009. Various Chicago authors will be scattered about the Chicago area at independent bookstores to invite readers into these worthy establishments and highlight the importance of these independent outposts. Check out The Outfit's posting here: http://theoutfitcollective.blogspot.com/2009/04/take-break-shake-that-frown-reassess.html.

A few of Daniel P. Smith's favorite spots: Centuries and Sleuths in Forest Park and The Frugal Muse in Darien.

Independent booksellers are a vital cog in Chicago's literary scene. Please support these businesses on Friday, May 1 and throughout the year.
