The format of this list is not quite as it should be - technical difficulties with one of the electronic participants. I hope it will be back to usual next week - my apologies. The Heartland Indie Bestseller List is brought to you by IndieBound, Great Lakes Independent Booksellers Association (www.gliba.org) and the Midwest Booksellers Association, based on reporting from the independent booksellers of the GLBA , MBA and IndieBound.
