We've long seen the impact NPR has on what our customers are interested.  Now Independent Bookstores and NPR.org have teamed up to offer IndieBound Bestsellers lists generated by independent bookstores around the country. 

"We think this list is the right one for the NPR audience," said Joe Matazzoni, who heads up the Books section on NPR.org. "The Indie Bestseller Lists are weighted to give smaller stores an equal voice with big ones, and bottom line, they are less liable to feature mass-market bestsellers and are more slanted toward literary fiction and thoughtful nonfiction. These are the books our listeners are interested in."
