For holiday gift-giving, the best guide is said to be “something they want, something need, something to wear, and something to read.” This year, your local independent bookstore has you covered in all categories!
For every reader on your list, check out the NEIBA Holiday Catalog (also available in stores!) It holds the biggest books of the year in all categories: from kids to cooking, literary fiction to sci-fi and fantasy. This year’s cover art comes from Kwame Alexander & Melissa Sweet’s collaboration, How to Read a Book. Looking for a personalized recommendation? An independent bookseller would be happy to help.

Don’t forget! Small Business Saturday is November 30.
