As a writer (and hopefully avid reader), supporting local businesses extends to frequenting and purchasing materials from your local bookstore. If you're not sure where to find one, or if you're shopping for friends and family out of the area, Indie Bound is a website to find Independent Bookstores in the U.S.
UPDATE: Bookshop.org has partnered with Indie Bound: https://bookshop.org/info/indie-bound
