IndieBound: Difference between revisions

As of early 2006, approximately 400 bookstores participated in the Book Sense gift card program, which allows shoppers to buy a gift card in one member store and redeem it in another. The gift card program is administered by [[Givex]] corporation, and replaces an earlier Book Sense program that used paper gift certificates.

 

The BookSense.com Web site has a large database of books (over 2 million titles). Shoppers who visit booksense.com are directed to the Web site of the nearest participating member [[bookseller]], calculated by [[ZIP code]]. The individual Web sites share a central database administered by the [[American Booksellers Association|ABA]], although each store may set its own pricing. The sites can be constructed with a template system or custom-built.
