Arbor Books (arborbooks.com), a backbone of the independent publishing movement for more than a decade, has compiled a list of some of its favorite titles to help consumers get right to the good stuff this holiday season.
This brief list of suggestions is a fun way to highlight some of the best books produced by the independent presses --and a way to help consumers sort through the thousands of titles released each year.
This year's list includes children's books, wealth-building books, personal memoirs and holiday-specific titles, and covers the entire family when it comes to genres and reading levels. According to Arbor Books, this list gives the whole family something to look forward to.
The independent publishers on the recommended reading list for this holiday season hail from around the country. The authors come from around the world. Just as the independents in the music, film, theater and art industries forge new paths, making available works and titles that would not be available to consumers otherwise, so do these independents in the publishing field, and Arbor Books ghostwriting and publishing services is proud of each and every one of them.

The people in this field, with their optimism and vision, are the future of publishing as they break the stranglehold of the larger, traditional publishing houses.
