I've found another online store that respects the price I've set on print copies of my books.
Has anyone ever heard of bookshop.org? Anything good or bad to say about them?
I found my books on it recently and the site has good reviews online, so I've added bookshop.org links to the list that shows up when you click on one of my books2read links.
@OwenTyme@bookstodon I've used bookshop.org from the beginning and give it all-my-thumbs up. I love how they support brick-and-mortar independent booksellers.
@OwenTyme@bookstodon I use the uk.bookshop.org quite a bit. Sometimes because I'm ordering a book I don't want a major retailer involved, but mostly because it's keeping brick and mortar bookshops alive.
So far (10 or so), the delivery has been a few working days, and occasionally I'll get a handwritten "thanks" note included.
It's better than saving a few quid to maybe get a battered (if at all) book delivered from the smiling behemoth who'll do their worst if there's a problem.
@OwenTyme@bookstodon I've ordered quite a few from them. They are about four years old now, started sometime during pandemic lockdown orders to help indie bookstores with commissions. My website is also an associate although I have not received any commissions from any links on my site.
@OwenTyme@bookstodon I haven't heard a lot, but what I have heard has been good.
I haven't gotten the chance to use them myself since I so rarely buy physical books these days and the few times I did I couldn't find what I was looking for on bookshop.org, but I always check.
@OwenTyme@bookstodon So you're traditionally punished and bookshop.org acquired them for sales, or you self-pubbed and they're in on the deal. I'm very curious.
