Indie-spensable

Powell’s bookstore has come up with a really neat idea: an indie subscription club whose members get a package of new books every six weeks. The package might include a signed first edition, or a title from the author’s backlist, or an advance copy of a new title, but the coolest part about this is that you don’t know what you’ll get until the package arrives. This would make a great gift. (Hint, hint, Alex.)
