Reading on the beach is a favorite for many of us. We also have our favorite bookstore haunts. Maybe you already knew about this one, but I just learned about Bookshop from Eschler Editing. It's very cool.
Bookshop (a new-ish but powerhouse outlet) allows you to blend gifting your favorite books with supporting your favorite local/indie bookstore. Hooray!
I absolutely love this!
Eschler Editing says this about Bookshop: "Dreamed up and founded by Literary Hub co-founder Andy Hunter, its purpose is to allow independent bookstores to create their own shopfront on the site, and the stores receive the full profit margin."
See why this is a big deal? Maybe you think it can't rival that giant online bookstore. Customer service and shipping are handled by Bookshop and its distribution partners with books being shipped within two to three days. In addition, titles are offered at a small discount. I dare you to give it a try.
Shop local and shop small this holiday season. Link is also in my sidebar.
