For the fourth year, independent bookstores across the country will be celebrating the holiday we invented for ourselves: Independent Bookstore Day. We'll be featuring activities, contests, and exclusive Bookstore Day items all day long, and, as usual, we're teaming together with eighteen other Seattle-area indies for the Passport Challenge. Get your Bookstore Day passport map stamped at three or more stores that day and we'll give you a 30% coupon, good for one time at any participating store. Visit all 19 stores in the day (which, astoundingly, 320 intrepid readers did last year!), and you'll become a Grand Champion, with a crown and a 25% off discount card, good at all participating stores for the following year. Find out more at our Facebook page and at seattlebookstoreday.com. It's one of our favorite days of the year!
