The American Booksellers Association was founded on November 15, 1900, to represent the interests of the retail booksellers of America.

From the first edition of the Book Buyer’s Handbook to the birth of IndieBound in 2008, the ABA has always existed to serve its diverse, knowledgeable, and passionate membership.

Its members include independent bookstores and chains, university stores, and specialty shops. To help members compete against large Internet booksellers, ABA has launched an online sales network, BookSense.com.
