Every month, publisher members of IPC recommend titles for a specific theme around which booksellers can build displays or build up inventory. This mix of frontlist and backlist titles helps to diversify stock and distinguish indie bookstores from their algorithm-based online competitors. Twice every year (in June and September), booksellers can earn a $500 prize and additional coop for featuring playlist titles in a physical display.
