Independent Bookstore day is Saturday April 28th. We’re still planning the fun so stay tuned for more information about the day’s events. Here are the IBD exclusives that will be available at Porter Square Books while supplies last.
Through stories, histories, ideas, and images, books connect us to people, places, and events distant from us in time and space. They also connect us to other books as references, homages, and arguments reveal the conversation that has been going on for centuries in the written word.
Once again, we’ll be offering a bunch of bookish exclusive items on Independent Bookstore Day. Here’s what you’ll be able to get at PSB only on Saturday, April 29th. There will be limited supplies of all of these items and once they’re gone, they’re gone, so get here early.

Once again we are celebrating Indies First on Small Business Saturday, November 28th. On Indies First local authors will step into the fast-paced, high-octane, several-holds-barred world of holiday libromancing to handsell their books, help you find the perfect gift, and, of course, sign copies of their works.
Here are the authors who will be joining us this year.
