Independent booksellers hope to gang up on Amazon

One hundred independent bookshops in the UK have ganged together in the hope of increasing their buying power to compete with the largest sellers. I appreciate that those readers in the US will feel this is the most useless story in the history of ever, but I ask you spend a couple more minutes with me before you give up.

The reason I mention this is that it constitutes an interesting example of what happens when big business comes up against lean, mean entrepreneurs. I love it. Of course, I don’t like the fact that independents were not getting an opportunity to get big name titles like everyone else.

Think global but buy local, right?
