The Independent Booksellers Forum is the BA’s independent booksellers’ group. 

It exists to bring independent booksellers together, through events such as the BA Conference and London Book Fair, to facilitate the exchange of best practice and the sharing of ideas and experience. The IBF is open to, and FREE for, any independent bookseller within the BA.


Independent Bookshop Week & BAseline
The Independent Booksellers Forum is the driving force behind the annual Independent Bookshop Week and the BAseline; the free, independent service that allows booksellers to measure their bookshop business and benchmark against other bookshops.
