The folks behind Independent Bookstore Day have curated an awesome list of exclusive custom merchandise that will ONLY be available on Independent Bookstore Day, May 13, 2017 and only at indie bookstores (like us!). We are not allowed to take pre-orders and quantities are extremely limited, so if you’re interested in an item, you’ll just have to do like you do for new Apple products and camp out in front of the shop the night before.

If you spend at least $25 on Independent Bookstore Day at any participating book shop, you’ll score a Blackbird Letterpress New Orleans Journal (pictured below).
