The “independent reference bookstore” label

The study carried out jointly by the Ministry of Culture and Communication, the SLF and the SNE, the report of the “Book 2010” mission and that of Antoine Gallimard, submitted during 2007, have underlined the fragility of the economic situation of independent bookstores and recommended making the maintenance and development of these businesses one of the priorities of book policy.
