Though I am listed at the major online booksellers such as Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com, I don't believe my book will go very far without the independent bookstores. If my book or any book isn't physically in the local bookstores, no one but your relatives know to type it in online. There is nothing like walking into a bookstore and perusing the shelves for a book that interests you. Being able to hold the book, flip through some pages, and read is what creates the interest that it takes for someone to buy the book. In my mind, independent booksellers are very important to the exposure of a book and its popularity. When and if my book makes it into the independent stores is when I will feel some success. Then how far the book goes depends on the merits of the book. At least it will have had a chance to be seen and read. Any other authors out there think the way I do? I love the little hometown bookstore. It's how I grew up buying books. Thanks for reading.
