FP Staff List: October is the new December

Ready for a little holiday shopping?

We know it’s only October, but if you like to buy books for everyone on your list (same!) you’ll want to shop early. 2022 has been a year filled with global supply-chain delays and high demand for books, so indie bookstores are advising customers to please order early. But don’t stress! We got you. To help you pick out the best books for every reader on your to-gift list, we’ve highlighted some of our favorite bookstores and gathered a selection of our favorite titles from indie presses. HAPPY BROWSING!
