Congrats Independents!

Boston Magazine has named Amherst Books in Amherst, Massachusetts, the Best Bookstore of New England. They said of the store: "The shop thrives thanks to a breathtaking selection of poetry, literature and philosophy, in addition to a sizable assortment of small press titles and literary journals. There are no gimmicks or marketing schemes at work here--just a refreshingly genuine appreciation of the art of reading."

You would expect no less in Emily Dickinson's hometown. Congratulations Amherst Books.

Congratulations also to Wonderland Books and Toys in Rockford, Illinois--the winner of the Pannell Award in the children's specialty category. And to Books and Books in Miami and Coral Gables, Florida, the winner in the general bookstore category.
