ABA is devoted to meeting the needs of its core members—independently owned bookstores with storefront locations—through education, information dissemination, business products and services, and advocacy.

Which membership category is right for you? Independent booksellers and others involved in the book industry in the United States may join ABA in one of four member categories: Regular, Provisional, Associate, and Auxiliary. (Benefits apply during term of membership only.)

Choose the membership category that best fits your business, then apply either online or via fax.
