Holiday Book-Shopping Links

[jimhines]

Holidays are coming, and the world is still struggling with lockdowns and other COVID precautions. On the business front, these past months have been particularly hard on smaller businesses, like independent bookstores.

If you were thinking of giving one (or more!) of my books as a gift this season, please consider ordering from an indie bookstore. Here are some suggestions. Links go to my stuff, but obviously you can order whatever you like 🙂

• Schuler Books


• Powell’s Books


• Mysterious Galaxy


• Star Cat Books


• Galaxy Bookshop


• Elliot Bay Book Company


• Strand Bookstore


• Bakka-Phoenix (in Canada)


• Abbey’s (in Australia)


• Forbidden Planet (in England)


• Indiebound (Lets you order from your local independent bookstore)

As an added incentive, if you’re in the U.S. and will be giving one or more of my books as gifts, let me know and I’ll send you signed bookplates to go with them. (While supplies last.)

And remember that if you use this affiliate link to shop at Powell's, 7.5% of all sales (excluding gift cards, virtual credit, and subscriptions) will go directly to their union's COVID-19 Worker Relief Fund.

And for those who like audiobooks, I'd like to recommend libro.fm as an alternative to Audible. They have similar terms, and you can select a bookstore that gets a reward every time you buy something from them. Their audiobooks are mp3s, also, instead of Audible's closed garden drm.

Oh, very cool!

Oof. Yeah, I need to sit down and do a blog post on the Audible situation one of these days...
