How Can You Tell An Independent Book Store From A Chain? INDEPENDENTS HAVE BOOK SENSE

Passion. Knowledge. Personality. Community Involvement. That's what it means to have Book Sense and that's why Boulder Book Store has joined with thousands of independents around the country to make our customers more aware of the dedication and diversity you can find by avoiding cookie cutter chains and seeking out independent businesses.

Book Sense is, in part, a marketing campaign (designed by those very smart "Got Milk?" people) to promote awareness of independents. You can now see the Book Sense logo in the windows of your favorite local book stores. Plus, when you're traveling, you'll be able to seek out new independents that really reflect their local culture.

Look for the bi-monthly Book Sense newsletter, as well as our Book Sense Bestseller display at the Boulder Book Store. You can also purchase Book Sense gift certificates, which are good at more than 1,100 Book Sense stores across the country!
